Last Sunday we went with a good friend from our church out of the city to go for a walk in the village of Сартоково/Sartakovo. It was not too cold but there was a nice steady wind which made it "nippy" It is very fun to get out of the city, Wendy and I enjoy this type of lifestyle more than the hustle bustle of inner city life.
This is for my Grandpa, we don't know what type of tractor this is so you have to guess if it is old, big, small. We also don't know what he is harvesting. We saw some cattle grazing so maybe this is for silage.
Here is a picture of what they were harvesting. I broke some off and tried to eat it, but it had no flavor and got stuck in my teeth. Maybe cows like it more than I did.
The farming lands of Russia are so beautiful. They give a person a small idea of how big Russia really is. If you go up on a hill, you can see about 60 kilometers.
Our friend Almira knew the man who was building this house. He let her take apples last time so we went and asked and they permitted us to take all we could carry. As you can tell he doesn't seem to want them. Wendy's sister Becky had problems getting all her apples off one tree, this guy had 5 trees.
We used the best things we had to collect our apples. We tied the our shirt sleeves and used them as bags. We most likely collected around 5 pounds of apples. Wendy made a delicious apple crisp with them.
