Overall health and ability to move / Terveys ja liikuntakyky

Family, friends and pets / Perhe, ystävät ja lemmikit

Functioning brain, curiosity and desire to learn new things!

Toimivat aivot, uteliaisuus ja halu oppia uutta!

Right now the beautiful ruska colors! 

It is like The Nature’s fireworks before the colourless winter.

...

Juuri nyt ihana ruska, luonnon ilotulitus ennen väritöntä talvea.

The tranquility and pure nature of the independent Finland
 My Homeland, Finland ❤︎

This is a song by Jooseppi Riippa, a Finnish American and dates back to 1890’s.
The lyrics express his longing for his homeland Finland:

My Homeland, Finland,
beloved Finland, where I was born.
Over there the white-crowned bird cherry
is bordering the meadow,
over there the white-crowned bird cherry
is bordering the meadow.

Over there I first heard
the birdsong in a leaf woodland.
Over there my mom’s smile
lulled me in the cradle,
over there my mom’s smile
lulled me in the cradle.

Over there, too, for the first time
love lighted my heart.
Was it maybe the will of Lord
when it ended in tears?
was it maybe the will of Lord
when it ended in tears?
