Our tour group in front of part of the Transfiguration Monastery

The sun was shining and we had an excellent tour guide in Yaroslavl. Yaroslavl is a center of the arts in Russia and a lovely little city.

Today I managed to get the grass mowed and the big hedge trimmed, as well as a bit of weeding done at the front. I ran the mower over the clippings and it mulches them up very nicely. I put this on the garden.

Lidia finished painting today. The laundry room is now a mustard yellow. We need the new flooring next. $.90 a sq.ft., I bought the paint. Drywalling? don't know. She has left marks on the door and the door jamb.

Tomorrow Irene and Dan will be over to see us. I am looking forward to seeing them. Seems we have not seen them for a long time.

Volga River Sunset

Along the River

There have been some beautiful sunsets/sunrises on this cruise. I have been shooting out the cabin window to capture a few of the rural scenes.

At 9:00 am we set out by bus to go to Yaroslavl for a walking tour of the City. There is much history in the city which can be found elsewhere. I have quite a few more photos from this day. Its a beautiful city and a center of the arts in Russia.

I feel like I am over my cold at last. Yesterday we rode around on the Model T Speedster for the annual Father's day run. Today I finished the vacuuming, and the dusting. I have put my big, over grown plants out on the deck, never to be returned to the house. My living room and the computer corner look a lot better now, without the jungle. My garden is needing attention next. All the water features were about half empty due to evaporation. I refilled the pond, again today as it had evaporated quite a bit. I must do the tub again too, as well as the half barrell. The lupines were marvelous with the foxgloves!! The poppies are out and the rhodos and roses. Can't wait to get out and trim things up so it looks even better.
