Windows to Russia

Last night I did my laundry and hung it up to dry. This morning, early, I am scrambling to gather that still slightly wet laundry and get it inside, the rain is pouring and my almost dry laundry is getting soaked. That is the state of affairs in my part of the world, how is […]

We needed it, the plants needed it, the animals needed it, the dirt needed it and life needed it. What was so important? Rain, that is what we needed and yesterday we got it! Rain and rain and rain. Inches of beautiful ground watering, rain… Before the rain came rolling in, in the form of […]

It was, that now shan’t! That sums up an America that had the sparrow by its tail and instead of doing good, it produced nothing but resentment for its very existence on this planet… The coffee is really good this morning and as Sveta sleeps and dreams her village dreams, I sip a cup of […]

The photo above was taken at 4 am this morning. No flash, I just love peonies… Last night at 11:30 pm, I could have read a book outside still. It was dim but not black dark. The stars were showing, the moon is gone and the sky is light all night long in the distance. […]

Photo above is my two favorite Russians in the world… I am not writing much today. Busy day in the village, I will check on the thirty cars that have gone into the monastery and see what they are up to. I have a trip to make into the big village today is pizza day […]
