Kinder Surprise

Kinder Surprise is a chocolate egg with a little toy inside. It is only available in Europe.The joy of my childhood, only for Christmas were we able to afford it. The chocolate is amazing! The toys are fun! You never know what you are going to get.
Maybe because this little treat reminds me of those sweet days of childhood, maybe because now I can afford it, whatever the reason is, I absolutely love these things!
For this Christmas, my lovely husband brought me about 15 of those and they lasted me almost a month. I save all the little toys, maybe my kids will play with them some day. I sure loved playing with those when I was a kid!

Beautiful...

When I'm not studying, I read beautiful books about beautiful classic Russia, and crochet with beautiful yarn. Things like this stay as beautiful memories forever!

Golden time

I have been dreaming about catching the moment of the day that is called golden. When the sun is almost set and everything has that golden tint to it. We get beautiful sunsets in Vegas, but I'm usually in school during that time. So one of my wishes for this vacation was to catch that time in the village. And so I did. I am ashamed to say that I snapped a couple of shots and ran away because mosquitoes were sucking me dry. But I am quite happy with the result!
One of these might make it into my instagram art. By the way, no editing in the photos, I think the colors are pretty amazing as they are...

Fluffies

It's June, which means that fluff from the blooming trees is everywhere here. It is laying on the streets or falling from the sky like snow. People who have allergies hate this time, I think it is fun!

My favorite dandelions are blooming as well! People say you can blow on it and make a wish. I prefer taking pictures of it. This picture might make it into my instagram art!

Let the second year of hell begin.

Yes, although I am on vacation far far away from school, I still have to practice my instrumentation and do a class online. I like the name of the class too - Pain and Anxiety control. Yum! Just what I need to relax during the summer! So starting from today my trustworthy friend - Sammy and I are back together. In dental hygiene practice is everything as it's important not to loose your motor skills. So here we are...

A hot day...

Today I found yarn that I am going to use for my floral blanket project. Out of all of my choices described previously, I decided to do little flowers. I got bamboo yarn because it's soft and not too hot. So I am now trying it out.
It is super hot here, so we are just resting and trying to stay inside. I am feeling sleepy and lazy. Hope it cools down soon.

Happy summer!

So here we are, resting and getting adjusted. Although I don't feel the 11 hour difference this time for some reason.
It sure feels like summer here - humid and hot. We went and got me glasses, a gift from my mother in law. It turns out I have trouble seeing from fare away. I like them, but I'm also thankful that I only will need to ware them when I drive or when at school.
So happy first day of summer! It is also children's day here in Russia. The weekend is going to be spent in the village and I am excited to spend some time among fields and cows. I will be sure to take pictures.
For now we are all about rest here.
