Support for Ukraine
I captured this image of a soybean field last fall in Knox County. I used the Skylum Luminar Neo software program to edit and filter the golden brown soybeans to yellow and deepen the blue of the sky. The Skylum company and team is based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Many on their team have remained in Ukraine and are working and sheltering. We have chosen to support Ukraine through Save the Children.

Lying, dishonesty and political manipulation are nothing new. In the age of digital mass communication, however, these machinations have become endemic. The war in Ukraine is also a war of mis/information and this war is going on daily across all our media. Some of us may feel helpless when it comes to separating truth from falsehood. But we are not that helpless. Whenever we are confronted with a political message, we can ask one basic question: who is talking and what question is being asked (and, usually) answered? This will help to detect the “agenda” of the message, identify its argument and understand the claim that has been made. If we wish to go deeper into the analysis, we can try to identify also the underlying assumptions of the message, check the evidence that has been quoted and see whether or not the message makes sense. We are not that helpless. We can be skeptical and make distinctions. We can reject what is false and keep what is true.
The war continues. Ukrainians bravely continue to defend their sovereign country.
The colours belie the current atrocities Ukraine is facing, but their courage and brilliance in fighting their tormenting aggressors is remarkable.
Let's hope and pray they can remain an independent, self-determining nation--and support them in every way we can.

Here’s roughly what the process of collecting salt from a dried-up lake looks like: a man in rubber boots walks onto the site (because beneath the layer of salt there’s usually a layer of stinky muck that you can sink into), then he uses a special rake to gather the salt into small piles. After that, he collects it into a sack.
We ate brunch in Chicago's Ukraine Village where many crowded the shops preparing for Easter and praying for a peace that protects their relatives from violence and invasion.
In a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people, Toronto unveiled “Free Ukraine” signs outside of the Russian Consulate on St. Clair Avenue .

I saw a feature this morning showing that sunflowers are grown aplenty in Ukraine. Remembering this photo from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, I offer it with my thoughts and best wishes for the brave souls in Ukraine.

The Parliaments of Canada, Latvia and Estonia now formally recognise the atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine as a genocide.
Please contact your members of parliament to do the same, and in one go ask them to impose an immediate ban on Russian fossil fuels.
It is the human thing the do.
It is the morally right thing to do.
And it even is the economically sound thing to do. Price hikes are caused by uncertainty on the markets. The longer the uncertainty lasts, the more price hikes there will be.
When we decide to stop importing Russian fuels, the uncertainty disappears, the prices will remain high for a while and then they will begin to decrease.
And it will remove Putin's power to hold countries hostage with his fossil fuels. Plus it cuts off a major source of income for Russia making it harder for him to continue to finance his war.
Regardless of its future, the heart and soul of Ukraine will always remain. It is embedded throughout the country, and deep within it's soil.

Today theme is Ukranian trade. Sometimes it felt really "Back in USSR!"
The blue thing on the left is traditional scales which i remember since my early childhood. They are really in harmony with the salted cucumbers in a opened jar - probably sold by one. Only new thing is Cola bottles...
