Spring came in Moscow!!!

Spring came late this year in Moscow, but the main thing, that it really happened!

This is what was outside our window just one week ago!

Spring is my favorite season, because spring weather makes me happy. It's never too hot or too cold. It always is just right. I can open all the windows in my apartments and smell the freshness.
I can jogging in the park and walk long time on the streets with my hubby!
I can get rid of heavy clothes, and I can wear trendy springtime outfits.
Spring is also the time of clean the house. For me its also a time to clear the thought in my head and think about the new things I'd like to do and explore.
I love Spring because it is time of new beginnings and  opportunity.

What is Spring for you?

Reach for the star

It's Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building in Moscow [Stalin's skyscraper]

This star is very interesting due to that fact, that only birds and builders sat on it. And one man - roofer  Artem Pirniyazov.

He says: 'This is the most dangerous thing I've ever MADE in my life, please don't repeat under any circumstances!'

  

Giant matryoshkas

These 10m high matryoshkas you may see on the top floor in Afimall shopping center above the Vystavochnaya metro station.
Each doll was made in one of styles of Russian folk art: Khokhloma's painting; the art of lacquer painting from Fedoskino and Palekh, Zhostovo's ornamental painting  and Vologda's lace.
These matryoshka dolls were made by hand, more than 15 artists worked on each installation.

Snow in spring, Moscow.

While the calendar may have you thinking it's spring, here's what parts of Moscow looked like earlier today.
When will Spring come? 

March, 8

Hi, dears
Sorry about the lack of posts about trip to Edinburgh this week.
I have been really, really ill these past few days. I had middle ear infection with high temperatures, and it caused temporary hearing problems.
Today I returned back to the office after sick leave, and I was very surprised and delighted to find some gifts on my table.
Tomorrow is 8 March - Women's Day in Russia. Russian women will be queens for this day. We don't care that this first spring holiday is a day for revolutionary women and celebrating women's economic, political and social achievements. Nowadays it is the holiday of spring, love and beauty, so women of all ages will receive flowers especially tulips, candies, perfumes, jewelry and other gifts from their husbands, children, male colleagues.
For me each day is like March 8. My husband doesn't really need a special day on the calendar to appreciate me. But it's so nice to get a flowers and greetings from colleagues and friends!
That means spring is knocking on my door! -)
