Little taste of summer [plus a little web3 wondering]
Judging by today's rainy weather, this blog I yesterday prepared for you, might be called a fiction, or even a lie. xD But this kind of unpredictable and deceptive weather is nothing unusual for May in Serbia. You know that saying: May is called May because it "may be sunny, it may be rainy". (:
Except that it's June now, but if I hadn't looked at the calendar just now, I honestly wouldn't have known it, ahaha.
That's exactly how it's been these few days. The weather has been pretty unreliable, changing from one moment to the next. The thing is, my head always seems to sense the change in advance, so there have been quite a few jokes at my expense lately that I'm Baba Vanga. Baba Vanga was a blind Bulgarian mystic, herbalist and clairvoyant who spent decades making alleged predictions about global events, including the Chernobyl disaster, 9/11 attacks etc.
You've probably heard of her at some point, especially if you're from this part of Europe.
Anyway, the moment I get a headache, a pain in my temple and even in my eye, I say "It's going to rain." Not even a few seconds later, the sky transforms from bright and sunny into a full-on autumn landscape. Autumn? What? It's only spring, hold on, winter! Not so fast! :D
Summer is just around the corner, which means this community will soon be blooming with great blog posts full of that summer vibe! And yesterday was exactly that kind of day, believe me, at least for a good part of it, until the afternoon. More than enough time for some quality sunbathing in the backyard, ice cream and ofc: cherrieees! 🍒
Who else eats those two together besides me? Are any of you fellow weirdos out there? Speak up, don't be shy, you are not alone. xD
It was actually a great combination. The cherries toned down the sweetness of the ice cream just enough and balanced it into a somewhat healthy treat. Then, of course, I ate another handful of them just to satisfy my sweet tooth even more. Not that they're overly sweet; they are exactly how cherries should be. Gently sweet, with a slightly firmer texture... absolutely perfect!
Before the sky completely opened up, I took advantage of the weather and went for a walk down to our pond, wandered around the property and snapped a few more photos. I have so many pictures of nature in my gallery that they've actually outnumbered all those silly selfies from the early Facebook and Instagram days that I still keep; and believe me, there were thousands of them as well. xD
That's why I try to fit the best ones into my blogs here and then delete them from my phone or Google Photos. They're preserved much better here anyway, accompanied by a nice story.
Now that I think about it, as long as the internet exists, there will be Web3 and Hive too, right? 😁
I'm not exactly tech-savvy; actually, not even close, and even if you explained it to me in simple terms, I'd probably ask you to draw it for me because I'm much more of a visual person. So don't feel like you need to explain it or put any effort into that; this is more just me thinking out loud. (:
What have you been thinking about lately? Do you tend to overthink or do you enjoy each moment without burdening your mind with a thousand unnecessary thoughts?
I've always wondered about that too... Can someone who is naturally wired to overthink actually stop doing it and vice versa? Or maybe, these days, there simply isn't anyone who doesn't struggle with it, considering the overwhelming amount of information we absorb every single day like we are sponges, whether we want to or not..

Think about that... or don't! It's your choice, hihi. <3
Thank you so much for reading! Sending summer vibes to everyone! ☀️ :*
Good afternoon @bibana. I can tell you that in this part of Europe we have a saying: "Don't take off your coat until the 40th of May." In fact, it was snowing in the mountains near Madrid until two weeks ago. ❄️
I didn't know we had a Baba Vanga in Hive... it's quite a discovery 😮. And thank you so much for sharing your little summer... magnificent photos. 😀
I hope you have a lovely day.
Hehe, I didn't know that! So I wasn't wrong after all, it's still May, at least for another five or six days. xD I like that saying.
Greetings from little Baba Vanga to Spain! 😄 Glad you like this blog. 😁
That's right, it's still May... even though the calendar suggests otherwise 😅. Big greetings from Spain!! 🤗
I know this is the post in the Summer Vibes community, but I can't "unsee" all that green from your fantastic photos! With those clouds, it fits great into the Spring Vibes community... except for the ice cream... That's a clear summer sign! 😃
I know that May is tricky in Serbia, but along with April, I think those two were my favorite ones... Everything is blooming, still early for mosquitoes, and all the photos you take are getting great! 😃 I think this year, we had a bit more spring days in Spain than usual... Maybe even a whole month! At this moment, everything is already burnt, dry, yellow, and red! 🙂
PS. Those cherries look fantastic! 🏖

Me, instantly Googling "spring vibes" in communities. 😂 I thought it was yours, so I assumed it was some kind of cute little internal rivalry mipiano and u had going on. Now there's an ideaaa! 😀
Yesss, I agree, although for the past decade or so, spring seems to fly by in about ten days and the heat arrives way too early, bringing mosquitoes along with it, unfortunately... Thankfully, there aren't too many of them around right now because the first round of spraying has already been done. Now we're just waiting for those 40+°C temperatures to chase them away, hopefully they will! :D At least they'll be less active and less aggressive. xD
Thank you so much for the upvote and for featuring me in the reading suggestions alongside all those wonderful blogs. Lots of greetings for your lovely lady and you! 🥰
Ooopsie... Sorry for misleading you... 😂
I don't know... As we lived by the river, we always had them... lol... It helps when they spray them, but in 99% they are back in a week or two... 😃
Cheers! Have a great weekend!
Wow... You've made my mouth water... It looks so delicious!
!LOH
Just wait until I post about how I made elderflower syrup, a true summer refreshment. :D
Well... assuming it turns out well! xD I actually picked and prepared the elderflowers over a month ago and now that is sitting in the freezer waiting to be mixed with honey and turned into a healthy syrup
Stay tuned, hehe. 😄
Hello! Congratulations on completing the daily Ecency Leaderboard quest today. A small tip is sent to you!
Such lovely photos! That amount of ice cream simply isn’t enough for me hahaha… and overthinking, well, that’s my speciality. 🤔
Ice cream with overthinking and cherries is an explosive mix... 🤣
Beautiful moment 🥰
