Hi everybody!

I'm back from my vacation.    

Last fall I built a patio on my backyard, and planted four pines, some other trees and bushes around it. These pines are not tall yet, but wide, and very beautiful. They were attracted this spring by birds, and this weekend I discovered two nests in two of my pines. One nest was partially built and empty, but another one is strong and had two blue eggs in it. I heard the loud bird chirping somewhere close, and just left the nest. Now every time I want to go outside, I’m looking at this tree trying to figure out if the mother bird is there. It’s hard to say, because branches are covering the nest very well. I don’t want to scare the mother bird away… So I spent my weekend on my front yard instead, right in front of my garage door that is not that much of enjoyment… Oh well, I never saw blue eggs in my life. I’m thrilled to see the baby birds.

I have new stories. They are based of my letters that I wrote to my parents during long 11 years of our separations.

My parents immigrated to Israel, and I stayed in Russia with my husband.  The only way of communication was letters that were read by the Soviet government very carefully. I wish I had the same attention to my writing on myspace today, as I had it while I was exchanging private letter with my parents. At that time my letters were very popular at KGB! But they didn't get me!   

I cared less, because the only subject that I was talking about in my long letters was my children that my parents had never seen.
