botanical garden which is home to the largest collection of rhody species in the world if you re happen to be in the seattle area i highly recommend visiting it in may or early june bonus free bonsai museum i thought i d give you a quick update on my friend irina s fundraiser help ukrainian refugees after successfully raising 10 000 irina continued with a new goal of 20 000 and as of now is at 16 650 she reports that the money goes directly to the families helping refugees with their rent and food as well as directly to hospitals and purchasing medication kits and the exciting news is that irina and her family are going to fly from the us to poland to help refugees personally thank you to all and each of you who are able to help in any possible way to save lives and wellbeing of families and children who are in the most heart wrenching situation since february 24 and despite popular opinion my heart also goes to the russian citizens who are against this horrible unjust regime but cannot leave the country some of them still protest risking their life and freedom all of them live in great grief and fear over the two tragedies war with ukraine and destroying our own beloved country some fled the country and now are considered enemies by russian government and the actions of the most of the world are against them somehow to most of the world they aren t victims like ukrainians but supporters of the criminal regime which is a horrible misjudgment just like not all germans supported nazi and not every nazi was german not every russian supports putin do not believe that 80 of population support him the officials in russia are professionals liars i doubt there is even 30 of those who actually believe in putin i don t know whether i will be back regularly blogging
