Weekend

I forgot this photo of Garry checking his sunflower field on Thursday yesterday.

 This afternoon I  spent some time weeding my flower beds where the tulips are blooming.  It's going to take a couple more days to finish the job.

Yesterday Garry bought some tomato plants to  set out in the garden when he went to teach in Dnepro.  He planted them when he got home in the afternoon, and put up his second little tent over them. We watered the pepper plants under the first tent, they have been fine under the little fabric tent this week in spite of the frosty mornings.

It was too muddy to get in the garden earlier in the week, when its wet it just balls up on your feet, and is very slippery to walk around.  It also packs the soil so we stay off it until it gets drier.  It was pretty dry under Garry's cold frame windows in the garden,  but some of the seeds he planted are up. More should be up after getting watered.

Peeking under the tent 

The bees are buzzing around the cherry trees now. Earlier in the week the ground, cars, roofs were spotted with falling apricot petals. 

Wishing you a happy Easter if you are celebrating the resurrection today.  Next weekend we will celebrate Ukrainian Easter with the students,  I'll post some photos. Meanwhile I am enjoying this card that came from Canada last year.

Today we went to church in the village with Nelly, Leila, and our newest student Sergey. Sergey showed up at our house at 7:30 this morning so Garry invited him to stay for pancakes before church with us and Leila. Valentina went to Dnepro Saturday morning with Garry to visit her friends from Central Baptist church, and returned this afternoon. Our other student in our house, Inna,  left on Thursday to celebrate her birthday and spend the weekend with her friends in Kirvoy Rog.
