A survivor of six heart attacks and a brain tumor, a grumpy bear of a man, whom has declared Russia as his new and wonderful home. His wife is a true Russian Sweet Pea of a girl and she puts up with this bear of a guy and keeps him in line. Thank God for my Sweet Pea and Russia.

Russian Eurasian Coot…

I was fooled! I have been wondering why we had ducks that seemed to be not able to quack. They made a weird noise and then other strange noises. Well it seems after looking closely, they are Coots, not ducks….There goes my, “What a stupid duck!” theory… https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Coot/lifehistory I saw their feet and said that […]

Svetochka in Moscow…

The limelight of our lives is gone. Boza and I and even George the Birdbrain this morning, are kinda sad. We will snap out of it later today, but for now we miss our girl. Part of it is that we only are able to get to bed by 1 a.m. and sleep is lacking […]

Here is what Svetochka saw in the last few days…

I knew Svetochka would get perturbed with me for posting an image of her and Boza sleeping. So she took one of Boza and I sleeping at nap time. All is fair, so I posted it… Our strawberries are doing so good for the first year… Sveta met Ralph the Raven… Fields of grain are […]

Svetochka will probably get me for pictures…

I could not resist posting a picture of Svetochka and Boza sound asleep. They are my best friends in the world and they love to sleep away the morning. Boza will get up and walk very early, but then for him it is back to bed. He very rarely sleeps on the bed like this. […]

Wild Morning and (sigh) a cup of coffee…

Boza and I walked and filled the wells. All went good until a couple of stray dogs decided to investigate Mia, Vova’s doggy! Mia it seems is going into heat and I knew this because Boza really likes her at that time. Mia likes Boza and accepts him being around, but Mia was really upset […]

George the Birdbrain meets Svetochka and it is coffee time…

George finally decided that Svetochka is A-Okay! He came to see what she is up to. At first when Sveta came, George was confused, for we took down our, “No girls allowed!” sign. (Just kidding! Well maybe….) And he wondered who this strange female creature was, called Svetochka. But yesterday, he allowed Svetochka to take […]

Oh how cool it is…

No really it is cool! Cool as in +9 last night and about +20 yesterday and the same today. It is cool and I hope it stays this way. Life is better when life is cool… 😉 Went to the Big Village and stocked up on goodies. It was a good trip and we gathered […]

Wanna know what is heaven?

Heaven to me… I woke at 3 a.m. and even though I was in pain, from the whole night of thunderstorms and rain. I was happy! Next to me was my sweety and under her side of the bed was Boza. He would not even walk with me, as I stretched out the painful arthritis […]
