This is a screenshot from an IG reel. Is it still that bad in Canada, or are there differences between different districts?

I found this in the IG feed. It was shared by another person, so I don't know who this woman is. But only her new picture makes her testimony trustworthy enough.

We have a few tomato plants in our greenhouse and the first tomatoes are growing.

@sinbach This meme reminded of your meat pic on IG. 😀

I'm so proud of our Finnish hockey boys (called the Lions) who won the World Championship! Again, a small country (5,5 million people), with not as much money as Canada and the US to train young players.
1. FIN 🇫🇮
2. CAN 🇨🇦
3. CZE 🇨🇿
4. USA 🇺🇸

Biking in our neighborhood before rain, and before the World Championship final ice hockey match against Canada that starts in an hour. This is the most beautiful time of the year when nature is bursting with flowers and colors. The fruit trees haven't blossomed yet. (The windmill is from 1809, and the red buildings are maybe 100 years or older... We have many uninhabited houses in our village, but they are not allowed to be teared down because they are protected).

Finland 🇫🇮 just won over the USA 🇺🇸 in the semi final in Ice Hockey World Championship. Tomorrow we will play in the final match, and the USA will fight for bronze. In a few hours it will be finalized which team will play against Canada 🇨🇦 and which team will play against Czech Republic 🇨🇿. This is so exciting, since ice hockey is maybe the biggest sport in our country!

It seems like the price is getting crazy in Finland. This is euro per litre. I have no idea what it is in USD per gallon (I don't have time to google and calculate right now). 😁 Somebody wrote our gas prices are the double of the US. I don't know if it's true. How much where you live?

Resting after work and dinner on our deck this beautiful evening. Still fully clothed, because it's not warm yet. I love our garden, and would miss it more than the house if we would move.

The birches are getting green after a long winter.

Finland's president Sauli Niinistö and his wife Jenni are visiting Sweden right now, meeting the royal family King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Carl Philip and their spouses.

There are 187,888 lakes in Finland larger than 5 acres (500 square metres / 5,382 sq.ft.).
