Fall has arrived in Kiev


The temperatures are cooler and the leaves are changing, so that can only mean one thing here in Kiev--Fall is here. The chestnut trees turned brown and the leaves fell in August, but the rest of the trees are turning golden and red signaling the shortening of days and the sleepy time of fall. School is now entering it's sixth week. Hard to believe. Both kids are doing exceptionally well in school. The best start to a school year ever! We are so pleased! I am balancing two demanding jobs. There are days when I want to pull my hair out, but resist the temptation since it would require more effort (I have short hair) than I have on a good day! Instead, I do the best I can with the time and resources I have been given. I have gotten positive feedback from teachers and that is enough to keep me going.

I have a new camera. I have taken many many photos. Here are a couple of new ones. The rest can be found in my Picasa Web albums. You can find a link to the left of this message!


Taras Shevchenko in the park named after him.


St Sophia's Cathedral




This is a mural on the side of a building near the zoo. I have admired it, and the others, for years. Today, I finally stopped and got a picture of it.
