The story of the tree

– You chewed tar!?- he exclaimed in utter amazement, – you chewed petroleum? – with astonishment he cried out again.

To say that he was shocked is to say nothing.

And it all started so innocently – Daniel planted a tree.

Сandlelight gatherings

Yesterday was the first time this year, when we drank wine by candlelight on the breezeway. I love such evenings and appreciate that I have them in my life.

Instagram sent this message instead of posting my comment.

Yesterday, one instagram account that I’ve been following recently created a meeting post. It is a good way to find new people to read and let others know yourself.

But what should I write about myself? Unlike others, I am not a journalist, or coach, or practical psychologist, or copywriter. I am just an average American, well, Russian-American, to be more specific – a Russian wife with the bee up my bum.

A wife and her hammer

It’s good that my husband’s Russian wife can handle a hammer. But it’s even better when she knows what the word “hammer” means.

During our first summer together, Daniel, out of work, decided to renovate the house. He wanted to strengthen some boards in the basement. And I was supposed to help him.

As he climbed up and down the ladder I was wandering around. At one point, he asked me to hand him the hammer. I was giving him one by one all the tools that he had prepared for this project. Of course, the hammer was the last. But since then I have known the meaning of the word.

However, there’s a little misunderstanding. I still cannot pronounce correctly a hammer and a hummer. So when I talk to you, please, pay attention to the context.

About age without sadness

I always looked younger than my age. Thanks to my parents.

For the first 25 years of my life, I didn’t think about numbers of my age. There were times when I shocked people with my real age.

When I turned 30, I didn’t like the age figures anymore. I tried to erase them from my memory. I rarely thought about them – on my birthdays or at a doctor’s appointments.

Taurus is my zodiac sign

Dedicated to all Taurus….

Astrology , horoscope, zodiac, stars, the Milky Way – such mystical words at least for me. The view of the starry sky is always fascinating, isn’t it?

Can you imagine that these stars and constellations can make a significant impact on someone’s personality depending on his(her) date of birth.

Favorite quotes

I like making notes, you know that.

I also like collecting quotes. Now I found a good place where to keep them – my blog.

Here are some of them.

Charles de Gaulle (Former President of France)

Always choose the most difficult way, there you will not meet competitors.

The berry I miss

My First spring in the US Daniel and I started to plant our gardens. We bought an apple tree, blueberry bushes. And Daniel had already planted blackberry bushes. I was really excited about that. I have never in my life eaten blackberries, as well as blueberries growing on the bush.
