RE: Entry for Pay it Forward Curation Contest (Week 49)
Everything is blossoming here :) It's smells fantastic :)
I haven't done a DNA test, although I am really curious and I should definitely consider doing one :) However, my cousin did. It turned out that our grandfather's ancestors lived here for the past 5000 years! It's amazing! We are the locals :D We carry the genes of the people who lived here before even the Slavs and the Ancient Bulgarians arrived in these lands. Just imagine how our bodies and way of life adapted to the area! :)
Very interesting @insight-out ...
... as this is consistent with what I imagine is true for many of the people in our world today. Specifically, DNA evidence supporting they are "nationals" in every sense of the word.
As Americans, we have a different DNA "story." The many reasons people "uprooted" from their ancient homelands to come here ... Into the "melting pot" ... As one of them, always interesting to me how that is perceived by others around the world ...
That is exciting. Can't wait for that to be true in our area, as Spring is my favorite. At higher elevations, the weather can be quite volatile. So, Spring one day and back (briefly ...) into Winter the next. We are expecting more snow within the next few days. But ... It will melt quickly then back to Spring ... 😊
It is typically not until mid to late May that we feel "safe" that what is planted will not subsequently be subject to freezing ... 😉
