Windows to Russia

Sometimes you simply wonder, does it ever end? Sometimes you just get tired of digging snow for months at a time… Sometimes you get grouchy… Sometimes the endless does end; for sometimes nature gives you hope; The forest is showing the ground around the trees and gives that light at the end of the tunnel […]

Spring is here… The lakes are being filled as you read this. That will take about a month to accomplish and we already have fish to eat. They sell the fish for 138 rubles a kilo, but as always we get it free. Sometimes in the summer I see so many fish that I am […]

Vova got his beast of a chainsaw fired up and he came down to cut up the oak trees brought in before winter. We got half of them cut up and the rest are still buried deep in the snow. Tomorrow, I will make a place to put the logs to get ready to split […]

Sveta took a bunch of images yesterday. Her camera is a Samsung Smartphone, one of those Zoom Phones and it works in just about any temperature. Thus she is running around and she is getting me grouchy and taking images, even if I do not see her taking them and by taking so many images […]

Omnivore is what most humans are. We eat both animal and plants. Animals fall into three basic categories, carnivore (meat only,) omnivore (meat and veggies) and herbivore (veggies only.) I have altered my life style since coming to Russia and one thing I have done is to basically kick beef and pork out of my […]

The weather warmed up, thus Sveta has been able to run around and take images that in the last few weeks I could not. The image above is Bald Mountain. That is what it is called by the locals and it really is not bald. Maybe at one time it was? The image above is […]
