“Strength that refuses to fade”. I add this sentence to the list of powerful words you have used to describe Ukraine and her people.

You fill my eyes. And I am grateful.

Such beauty and resilience. Those words describe her work, you and your writing and sharing, and the powerful Ukraine and her people.

Me,too. Every time!

I am better each day when I read that you are okay.

The memories will keep you warm!

I love everything about these posts about your trip.

“Tender Ukrainian Art”: what beautiful words for a beautiful painting.

Your words are in my heart daily. Today, it looked like our Canadian flag was hugging the Ukrainian flag.

Coffee here, but isn’t that chill glorious?

So interesting and important to read. Today, on a backroads motorcycle trip in Ontario, Canada, I saw two Ukrainian flags flying proudly. Along with the mini flag on my jacket. And soon I will be sending postcards to Defenders Ukraine!

Lucky Berton. Lucky you!

You have posted so many memorable statements. Today’s “Life is fragile, but survivors are not.” will stay with me forever. May you stay safe. May Ukraine stay strong.

The mention of Ukrainian bread sent me back to my Auntie Dora’s yeast buns with beet leaves, dill and onions. Don’t know what they were called, but tasting them in my memory right now here in Canada. The Ukrainian diaspora remembers and supports.

Not a perfect single word, but I read a lovely expression for it: singing ice!

I see that smile emerging. Happy to see you❤️

As we contemplate a new kitten after the recent loss of our rather aloof but much missed cat, Mandy, we hope to find a cuddler like Benedict!

Heading east? Go to Canora. Where my great grandparents landed. Strong Ukrainian influence. A beautiful welcome from “Lesia”. And a stunning Ukrainian Heritage Museum. We visited in 2023.

I care.

May you and Ukraine be safe.

Now THAT’S a snout to be proud of!

Happy to see EVERYONE!

Murphy, it’s been too long ❤️

I love sleeping cat faces.

Of COURSE you did! Enjoy, sweet Mo.

Glorious!

Definitely a fine ambassador of “Snouts”!

Watching! You are great (no evidence of flu, just great skills).

Wish I could come out (from Ontario) for a play date with you and the Snouts!

How to Send a Postcard to Defenders of Ukraine Keep it simple. Like these two samples: one in English; one in Ukrainian. 1. Choose a card. Or, a couple. You can send as many as you like! They will all get to Ukraine. Tip: about four or five car…

I can’t do much but hold you and Ukraine in my heart. I also write postcards for the Defenders of Ukraine. If anyone is interested, check this out (you don’t have to be Canadian, just send cards via Canadian friends). Here’s how postcardstothefrontcanada.com/2023/04/23/h...
