Absolutely stunning weather, all windows wide open to catch the light breeze.

Besides that, the usual report lately...so tired. I have a larger than usual amount of laundry to wash, but I am thinking that I will lie down and attempt a nap before delving into carrying the heavy laundry down and up stairs to the laundry room.

I saw something on the news that is interesting. When Russia blacked out the last remaining free world news show, the owner played "Swan Lake" on repetition. Probably only a very few of us can recall when Mikhail Baryshnikov, at the time Russia's super-star premier Bolshoi ballet dancer, defected to the U.S. The Bolshoi Ballet is considered the greatest in the world; Russians traditionally revere ballet. When Baryshnikov defected I was in high school and deeply involved with dance. His defection was huge news all over the world; it was very exciting. So the journalist playing Swan Lake repetitively (with Baryshnikov as it's premier dancer) sent quite a message.

I was reading about NATO last night, I hadn't known that there are 30 countries belonging to NATO. Many of the Eastern Block countries belong. And of course, many of those border Russia. A lot remains to be seen with this war.
