Dacha

I'd like my first post to be about something positive, considering you know what happening everywhere. So...

A dacha is a little plot of land Russians use to grow fruits and vegetables. Usually, there's a little house there, with or without running water or electricity. It's a fantastic place to get away from it all. If you love gardening, this is the place for you. If gardening isn't your thing, you can just hang out and have a barbecue.

Mom and our son had things in pretty tip-top shape by the time we got there, but there was still weeding, and my case, moving heavy things, to be done.

A lot of hard work, and we've got the sunburns to prove it.
