Easter Day on Pchelina 2021

Last month I gradually slipped out of regular blogging, and crafting, and I find it difficult to come back to it again. Something about getting out of habit and probably into a new habit of not blogging and not crafting constantly, which might not necessarily be a bad thing. 

Anyway, I'm trying, while out of the crafting addiction, to find new ways to spend my free time, like playing chess with my son (or rather, he's teaching me how to play while constantly beating me), assembling a puzzle again, back to running in the park, studying Spanish on Duolingo. And hiking, the one passion I hope never to relinquish.

A few pictures from our Easter picnic on Sunday at one of my most favourite places - dam Pchelina. I was worried the place would be packed like last year around the same time, but luckily it was comparatively quiet and as beautiful and peaceful as one could wish for.

Picnic At Pchelina Lake

We had been thinking of going back to Pchelina Lake this year for a picnic and yesterday was the day. The place definitely looks different at the end of the summer - no more luscious green meadows and bright colorful flowers; the meadows have been mowed, the flowers have withered under the harsh hot August sun. Still, it was beautiful and most of all - surreal quiet and peaceful. Having just watched Carrie Bradshaw fret and dither about spending a weekend in a lodge outside New York (I'm rewatching Sex and the City), I find it difficult to relate to and to believe that there are people who don't enjoy the outdoors :)
