Grandmother the creative soul!

Babcia Zosia my maternal grandmother is one of the people who have had a great influence on my personality. To this day I listen to her advices and try to teach my kids to discover the world the way she has always taught us. She used to spark curiosity in her grandchildren’s little souls like nobody else. We would venture with her in the middle of the night to the forest to look for hidden treasures or collect the light bugs. There were countless trips in her tiny car maly Fiat to discover new places.
She still is a very active person who organizes the Harvest Fest in her village. I just got some pictures from the recent celebration. It is always held on August the 15th, when Polish Catholics celebrate Saint Mary as the Queen of Poland. The custom is to create a bouquet made out of the filed flowers and bring it to church to have it blessed. I remember how she taught me to make one. The most important thing is to make top flat as a table.
