30 it is.

The day was bright blue and light green and yellow, and the trees are in blossom. Spring gave a great gift of this lovely day. My family had some great gifts as well, but the best one was that we were all together. Thank you to all of my friends (you know who you are) that send me you warm wishes today, it made the day very very special. A big HUG and lots of love to all of you!

Movie Monday 70

This animation is about the legend behind the building of St. Basil's cathedral in Moscow. There lived a man, who even in the coldest of weather would walk barefoot, and would make all the kids smile with his tricks,he could see angels and would never take money from people. Actually he would, but he would take it to one particular spot and throw it behind his back and it would fall into neat piles. Nobody dared to steal that money, and when someone did he could not move from the spot until he put the money back. The man, his name was Basil, collected the money for years, and then suddenly stopped and gave it all to the Tsar. And then he died. The money was used to build this magnificent church. I really like the animation style and the story :)

Bursting with colors, sunlight and new energy--it is spring! My time of the year. I was born in mid April, and have always felt a deep connection to this time.

Is anyone else going through a slow period?
