Windows to Russia

Yesterday was get feed grain time for Vova’s animals. As in the past I am the designated driver. I do not drink and thus am a natural for driving around the other small villages and gathering foods for the animals. Therefore, I found myself driving all around the back roads, seeing the sights of nature […]

Try to start the car at sunup! If the car starts okay? Then off to the Big Village and get doggy food and other supplies. It reached -15 last night and the only thing that helps is the wind went away. It is bitter cold, but only a light breeze makes it bearable. Windchill is […]

—  The birdbrains are gathering at sunup and waiting for me to put food out. They sit in the cherry trees near the outhouse and watch for me. They no longer fly away and gather in greater and greater numbers as the morning goes on. I am trying to feed them at sunup and make […]

Boza and I got up at 5 a.m. and were kinda sad. Svetochka is gone back to Moscow. We took her last night in Sammy the Volga to the train station and Boza and I had a long lonely ride back home. But! We are doing our thing this morning and filled the wells, ate […]

Boza had a really good day. He could see some things and chased a blowing plastic bag, chased a kitty in the morning and walked all around. Then night came and he went totally blind. This is the new normal, his sight comes and goes all day long. He never has good sight anymore, but […]

Mikheil Saakashvili or better known by this blog as, Sassy! He is up to his antics in Ukraine and I still see a future of games and presidency for him. Sassy is a very well paid puppet leader for America and he has been in Ukraine for a few years now. He has been down […]

Sveta found out what I have talked about in the past here in the Tiny Russian Village. Her camera froze up and quit working. She walked Boza and tried to take pictures. The camera shutdown and froze with the lens extended. I had to laugh and then frowned, because, I hoped that the camera was […]

Boza and I walked in the white and drifting snow. The wind is blowing about 20 kph and snow is dancing all around. To say the least it is cold out there right now. -15 °C (4 °F) windchill. Of course Boza has his fur coat on and I told Boza, ¨Time to get the […]

I woke at 3 a.m. and heard Boza stirring at the side of the bed. He is a good boy and does not bother me unless he needs something. He did not ask, but since he ate lots of good food yesterday, I know he had doggy business to do and I will not sleep […]

Long hard trip down to the Tiny Russian Village… Snowed, rained, sleeted and cold cold cold. But we made it and drove all the way to the Tiny Russian Village with no issues to speak of. Just nerve wracking for this bear. I have said many times, “Russians suck at driving!” Father Pavel was at […]
