Day23: … very mixed feelings: gratitude that I am “here & now”: alive, being taken care of… & desperation that I am not where I want to be: in Lika!
This view reminds me of #LikaLodge !
The cows remind me of my “cowboy”…
Barbed wire reminds me of the “human condition” under capitalism : we are all imprisoned by the consumption machine, that keeps us away from simple joys of nature …
Šumske jagode koje sam presadila iz Like su se primile i sazrele!!! Na terasi… Probala sam jednu - taj ukus me je odmah preneo tamo… Tako mi nedostaje da budem u Lici!!!
Forest strawberries I’ve replanted from Lika are … surviving here (thriving?!) & bearing fruit!!!
I savored one this morning… & it transported me there immediately !!
I miss being there so much!!!!!
Retrospective of my May visit to #LikaLodge, part 3/n : visit to Memorial Center Nikola Tesla in Smiljane, near Gospić. It was a lovely day so we mostly enjoyed the bird song, trees, sunshine & clouds … & orchids, doggie, plus #TeslaCoil !
Retrospective of my May visit to #LikaLodge, part 2/n : roadside attractions : Worringen (my new nickname) , yellow fields, apple pie & mountain Zir
Retrospective of my May visit to #LikaLodge, part 1/n : animals
“Chop wood, carry water” : everyday zen at #LikaLodge & remedy for #burnout
[edited to add a quote screenshot & a photo of actual wood I chopped / sawed]
[[OTOH, the burnout won :(( , for now]]
It was a good day for plant & animal companions near #LikaLodge , but I completely forgot it’s actually Good Friday for my human family …
Pictured:
Mount Lisac, big tree, my favorite horse Dosadica; White blossoms & mountain ranges Sedla ; Cat in my lap, 2 dogs Bella & Rocky lying in grass ; 2 donkeys on the grass & many trees, no leaves yet
I’ve witnessed the miracle of life, twice in two days: two horses gave birth, just under the holy mountains of my childhood : Kokerna & Lisac
A collection of village animals awaited me upon arrival to (almost) #LikaLodge : donkeys, dogs, cat & rooster (not pictured, but he’s up too early in the morning) : just like the (fairy tale) musicians from Bremen ;)
Petting them & being loved by them is the emotional support i need for the #burnout #recovery !

Update from the “animal farm” / petting zoo / remotely-working “emotional support animals” from the village of #LikaLodge : my favorite horse Dosadica ; small calf called Rambo; & Bella’s new baby with uncle-dog Rocky (photos & love sent by Nikola)
Yesterday: Trip back : from #LikaLodge to Amsterdam, via Munich ; visiting friends , walking the dogs, night train being delayed…
Urban exploration & nature trails in Zagreb’s suburb of Podsused , with Nina as a guide & Vedran providing snow-walking equipment 💕. On my way from #LikaLodge to Amsterdam
Saying good bye to Gubavčevo Polje i Gračac i Lika i Nikola … :(
part 4/4 : Domestic bliss or cabin fever?! Maybe we will be stuck here another day, since main road from Gračac is closed!? At least Bella got a chicken to eat - she just had puppies & is super skinny :(
cold morning near #LikaLodge : sun in the frozen trees & on snow is pretty :)
part 3/4 : pretty cold winter morning near #LikaLodge : walking with dogs & helping N. who is feeding hay to horses & cows…
Also: mountains Lisac & Sedla & Kokerna , Rosehip Bush & plums …

Brilliant morning near #LikaLodge : walking with dogs & helping N. who is feeding hay to horses & cows… part 1/4
(yesterday) Božić / “Serbian xmas” , snowed under in a cabin , took a walk to #LikaLodge
Pictured: proja (corn bread) with kajmak (cream spread) ; TV announcing 42cm of snow in Gračac region (but closer to 50 in Gubavčevo Polje), Bella on uncleared road ; well under the Linden tree with piles of snow brought by wind
Badnje veče / evening before Orthodox Christian Xmas : but for nonbelievers it’s just another winter day :)
We are more-less snowed in , near #LikaLodge : just two dogs, one cat & two humans : with some friends who might or not drop by, plus internet & tv mercifully working . Most importantly : we have enough firewood to keep warm! Food is a bit short in supply, good for keeping lean ;)
It’s a great test for #collapse preppers from #UnCiv ;) I’m loving it!

Dobro jutro / good morning! Tea with Rocky , while the snow melts but the new one is still falling too. #LikaLodge
All kinds of bliss near #LikaLodge : domestic bliss with “blitva” (chard) for dinner , blissful winter wonderland walk through snow covered forest , rolling in the snow while making a “snow angel” & a small frozen yarrow flower with a charming snow hat on ! What a glorious day it was!
Two seasons in two days! Views of Lisac : under snow, and with a rainbow
#SilentSunday near #LikaLodge : trees & roads are covered in snow! All the sounds are gone! All the views are gone too - mountains can’t be seen! Only rosehip & Rocky & Bella :) #DogsOfMastodon & faint traces of the steps in the snow …
Edit: Images: later :(
apparently the internet is gone too …
@eoinho now with the rainbow 🌈!!!! #LikaLodge (Gubavčevo Polje LGBTQ* 🏳️🌈)
Four views of mountains around #LikaLodge : Lisac & Sedla
Last day of 2025 & I’m again at my favorite place - Lika & “Polje” - #LikaLodge : with dogs, snow, rosehip, Lipa / Linden tree & mountains Kokerna & Lisac! (& Nikola, hidden, since he doesn’t like to be on social media) .
It’s very cold : -10C ?! Not sure how I feel about it : I’m both thrilled to be here & scared of coldness in the next days!
Photos will be added later, internet is flaky here / now …
Thread : ^^^ those were impressions from yesterday. Today I’m continuing towards #LikaLodge , with the train trip Zagreb-Gračac . There’s snow on the tracks, & the sunset is really early - from now on - only darkness & coldness… until the love warms up my heart 💕
