| Gorky Park in mid-October of last year |
In about 30 minutes we're headed out to door to a) meet up with a newly-arrived teacher and b) take in the beauty of Gorky Park in early autumn. I hope we'll get to ride the cable cars across the park to Sarzhine Ravine. It's always a beautiful ride: spring, summer, or fall.

| Sarzhine Ravine, last October |
Recently D and I spent an afternoon walking through several of the city's other parks. We'd just seen the new Riddick movie and decided to take a (very) roundabout way home.

Somewhere along the way we stopped to gather chestnuts, D's fall tradition. Кит (the cat) also loves chestnuts; he'll chase them around for hours until they've all disappeared under the fridge, under the couch, or under the bed. Last year it took us months to track down all his каштан (chestnut) hiding places!
Okay, off to the park!

ReplyDeleteI hope the rain holds off for your walk, in Kyiv it hasn't!

DeleteThank you, Rupert! Yes, we were lucky and the rain held out the entire time we were in both parks. But today is looking like a different story...
DeleteFrom your pictures, it appears that fall in Kyiv and Kharkov is proceeding at about the same pace.
Gorgeous! 'Keet' hid his chestnuts at my house this year because he knew you would take them away
ReplyDeleteWell then, I hope you don't mind being woken up at 3 AM by a chestnut ricocheting off your dresser :P It's like living inside a pinball machine!
DeleteWe found those red bugs all over one of our trees at our house. We don't know what they are, but we hope they won't be wreaking havoc in the garden anytime soon. They are very pretty though.
ReplyDeleteThey are! Almost like ladybugs, but more buggy and less lady : )
