My Beautiful Sweet Pea…

This is in the empty lake bed of our Tiny Russian Village lake. Svetochka and I were walking the dried lake bed and came near the edge of the lake. The grasses were tall and beautiful…

Svetochka loved the tall grasses as they whispered in the breeze…

I wonder what they were telling her?

Svetochka did not let me forget Thanksgiving…

But…

No pumpkin pie for us trying to stay thinner. I did not say thin, I said, “Thinner!”

Which implies that we have extra padding to work with…

Amazing how fast time flies….not sure I like flying time though…


I bought a pumpkin today and will boil it, part of it, for us to have tonight with some turkey and salad. It is Thanksgiving and this bear was totally ignoring the holiday…

So Happy Thanksgiving…

This is Russia – 4

This is the Tiny Russian Village I talk about on this blog…

Only -16 and time to walk to get a bus or taxi to Big Village…

It stands on top the world around this part of Russia. The image is taken from near the river and in the valley that the river runs in…it is part of heaven…

The monastery is very unique, even for a Russian monastery. The bell tower is humongous…

Original Village Bell Tower and Church…

This is really Russia…
