what a view

Who would want to go back to an office?

Plus I have purple hosta flowers matching purple heuchera flowers and all the colors look so gorgeous together and Kate is a genius. 

I had a picnic lunch with someone from my last job. He went to Poland for work and caught Covid. He said 
- no one was wearing masks or showing any regard for Covid. 
- Eastern Europe is very focused on Ukraine and helping Ukraine in any way possible because they know if Ukraine falls they are next.
- Ukraine is moving toward Europe in switching from Soviet to European engineering standards. 
He had cousins who were a little judgemental about his catching Covid, and then they all caught Covid. 
We haven't heard of anyone catching Covid while traveling for work and getting workman's comp. 

The Czech government gave Ukraine armed assault helicopters. 

The US State Department supports selling $1.45 billion in weapons to NATO allies Estonia and Norway. 


Ukraine’s defense minister said the first M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System arrived in the country and would bolster the country’s ability to hit long-range targets. 


Putin signed a law allowing the Russian government to impose special measures including night shifts and overtime work at companies to boost weapon repairs and production of military equipment, citing a “short-term increased need.”



The EU proposed new sanctions. The new measures, dubbed by the bloc’s executive arm as a “maintenance and alignment” package, target Russian gold, introduce more trade restrictions on machinery, and would add more than 50 people and entities to the sanctions list.
