Sick, but spring is here!!!

I've been sick with a flu and it's been painful and not fun, but I am getting better. I took two days off from school, but today everything was hurting from laying down, so I decided to take a small walk. I went to the woods near our house. Wow! It did me so much good. I walked really slow like an old person, and that was just fine because I had nowhere to go and nothing else to do. 

The woods were beautiful. Peepers were peeping, along with other frogs and toads; birds were singing and the brooks we're running so happily!

I told Sena this morning that I'm glad I got sick, because even though I didn't feel well, I got to be around her and Aiyana more, and now I got to have this nice little walk in the woods.

Spring!!!!

Amidst the heartbreak of Ukraine, spring is here. Some days I feel like it's wrong to be happy about it. 
But it's heartening to see people helping and supporting each other in this awful situation. Today I found out that my cousin in Germany hosted 3 Ukrainian families that fled. I am proud of her for helping like that.
And also, it's heartening to hear of all the people in Romania and other neighboring countries doing what they can do to help.

Here are some recent pictures:
