About Yelling Rosa

I am retired. In my spare time I read, write, play the guitar and hike. I have published three verse books in Finnish and recorded my songs. You can listen to them on YouTube. I have translated some of my poems on Yelling Rosa's Weblog. I also like to watch movies. Olen kiinnostunut lukemisesta, kirjoittamisesta, kitaransoitosta ja luonnossa vaeltamisesta. Olen julkaissut kolme runokirjaa ja laulujani on äänitteillä. Voit lukea runojani Yelling Rosan kotisivuilta ja kuunnella laulujani YouTubessa. Olen elokuvafriikki.

    You don’t need to go to Lapland to see such snowy sceneries. In South Germany it looked quite similar last week. 😦
    But while there’s life, there’s hope. 🙂

    And a happy May first day to you also! The snow is beautiful. All the best to you for the seasons ahead. We here are quickly heading toward summer as the temperatures have been hitting the 90s.

    It doesn’t really look like First of May. However, May 1 is not about the weather it is about feeling and understanding this particular day history.

      Thank you for commenting. I agree with you that the most important thing is to remember why we celebrate the First of May. The better working conditions have not come to us without those people who devoted their life time to make our life easier, many of them gave even their lives while making the better future. Unfortunately from some quarters us are misleading into believing that brother- and sisterhood isn’t relevant anymore and on the contrary they are blogging the global economic growth. Well, composing the long story short, I am saying that any of us can imagine what kind of a place this world would be without the social equality.
      Take care and all the best to you 🙂
