Good morning Resisters everywhere. It's 42⁰ at 7:45 in the morning

Quitting early. Goodnight Resisters

Pope Francis remembered a Ukrainian soldier from Bakhmut who died at the front of Avdiivka.
At his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square in Rome he was holding a rosary and a New Testament wrapped in camouflage colors in his hands, personal belongings of the young man.

“This boy's name was Oleksandr: 23 years old. Oleksandr read the New Testament and the Psalms, and in the book of Psalms he had underlined Psalm 129: 'Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice'. And this 23-year-old boy died in the war. He lost the life that he would have had before him,”
Francis said. The Pope called on the faithful to observe a minute's silence in memory of "this boy and all others who, like him, died in this insane war."

The fallen soldier's belongings were presented to the Pope by the nun Lucía Caram, a contemplative Dominican of Argentine origin, on March 13, the 11th anniversary of the start of his pontificate. Since the beginning of the war she has been involved in Ukraine.

Last night about 2 AM we finally got a humongous thunderstorm that had been supposed to arrive Monday afternoon. And tonight maybe a hard freeze and maybe not. Officially 32⁰ but the weatherman says it will be in the 20s. I sure hope he is wrong.

Today the earliest irises decided to bloom

Good morning Resisters. We are supposed to get a bit of extreme weather later today. Thunderstorms with possible tornadic activity. Oh well.

Goodnight Resisters everywhere

A rescuer from Odessa from the now famous photo spoke about what happened to him on March 15 after the shelling of the city.

After the Russian attack on Odessa, houses were burning, and there were already the first casualties and injuries. Alexander Dontsov arrived at the scene with other rescuers and doctors. At this moment, the Russian army launched a second strike on this place.

“I just remember how I scream, my face caught fire,” Alexander said in an interview published by the State Emergency Service.

“I remember how I flew about 40 meters. Everything hurts and fragments hit me. It’s impossible to get up. I was afraid to open my eyes,” says Alexander. Then he crawled out and helped carry out his colleague.

“The last thing I saw before I passed out by the tree was the girl from the press service,” says Alexander about the photograph, which later appeared in many media outlets.

Alexander is a hero!!
