What a lovely tradition! How sweet that it’s coming back and even sweeter is that it pokes a spike in the eye of the Putinista scumbags who’d erase the Ukrainians if they could.

Is this where the saying “She has a bee in her bonnet” comes from?

Lovely but they look heavy.

Reminds me a bit of the hat code. If you wore your hat with the brim straight you were married, if your hat was worn with the brim tilted back you were a widow, to the left single and looking, to the right single and not looking.

In country market towns it made it easy to tell who you could approach and who was off limits.

Ha ha, the Ukraine. Do you know what the Ukraine is? It’s a sitting duck. A road apple... The Ukraine is weak. It’s feeble. I think it’s time to put the hurt on the Ukraine.

Traditional Ukrainian dress is both ornate and very beautiful. I have a mans rubasha which is very handsome.
