August

“August must be shed slowly, like pear liquor.
Pour into a small glass, drink a drop, and look through the glass at the sun.
August nights should be diluted with candle lights, milk poured into a cup for a brownie, purring a cat and the chatter of grasshoppers.
August days should be laid between the pages of books, like bookmarks, in order to then shake out their heat in the dank November of taking this book from the shelf.
And I conjure you, well, do not shout at all corners, "Oh, here is August, here is autumn."
Well, where are you in a hurry?
Stop the clock.
Drink a Drop."

Ray Bradbury

I had just 1 week vacation this summer. But seems I found a perfect place for me. It is peaceful and quiet, surrounded with picturesque mountains.

This fabulous eco house, and a small lake with fish, and a tiny pond with water lilies, and bee house, this all was just for our family.

Far from hot summer town, we remembered how to live simple life... Morning coffee has has a very special taste when you drink it outside watching the sun raising above tops of spruces.

And in the evening, when sun went down the trees again, we took on warm cloth and watches the stars. The night sky never looks so deep and close as in mountains...

We had no TV there (isn't it nice?) but there were good library, and a fireplace, and small lake, fish and fishing rods 😉

If you follow me long enough, you know I am mad about mountains. I'd like to share our trip with you, as it was .... unforgetable 😊

And here are more photos to help me express my feelings.

You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

Thanks. The current job in moving COVID-19 patients is tiring but still considerable meaningful.

It's been quite a while since you have posted last time, dear @zirochka, but waiting was worth it - this place looks really like a perfect little paradise and I believe you that you have had a great time there. It's good to see you have had a good time and you are well.

Hello, dear Johann! Thanks for notice ) Yes, I was off for a while... When I have no inspiration and nothing to say, I stay quiet.

Me and all my family are well. We have adaptive quarantine now in Ukraine. Country is divded into zones: yellow, orange and red. Kyiv is still in yellow zone.

How are you and your family? Do you still work remotely? And does the second wave started in Austria?

Good evening dear @zirochka,

we are working normal again and apart from wearing masks at some places and shops life is "normal" again. The borders are not closed, but everyone is stopped and checked. The virus is still here and we have many new infections daily, but as said before, life is somehow "normal".
I don't know if it's already the second or still the first wave, but the next weeks will show us more, when the holidays are over and the children will be back at school.

It's good that you and your family are well. Yellow is the best zone I think, but hopefully there will be green zones soon too :)

Have a nice evening and a great day tomorrow, but take care, dear @zirochka ☀️

Well, in theory, there is a green zone too 😁

And that's so cool you are almost back to normal. Our quarantine started when we had about 100-200 infected per day. Now we have above 2000. I don`t knlw when it will be over but we all are tired of all this.

Thank you, my dear friend, and you take care too 😉
Cheers!

Good morning @zirochka,

I wouldn't say it's normal here, we have about 300 new infections per day and all governmental behavior is confusing in my eyes. They were good when the crisis began, but now the people are tired from it and I think the government also.

Everybody thinks we are living in a green zone, but I think we are in the yellow zone which will change to the red zone soon.

Have a great day and take care 🤗

Of course we will survive it - I am tired of this crisis and the stupidity that is happening at the moment, but I am not afraid nor am I scared, not for myself and not for my family.
We take care and we don't care about people who don't care, and they are many 😵

I wish you a great day too, dear @zirochka, and please take care too 🤗
