Well I was walking home from work the other day and there it happened. Right infront of me was my very first Moldovan rainbow or "curcubeu". Something about a rainbow that just lifts your spirits. If you let your eye follow the road on the next picture, the house I live in is right between the two stone fences. Yes, its the one with the open attic door. Always something interesting cooking at the farm. Here you see Ilie and Ilia Leca brewing up some delicious "compote" or fruit liquor. A little combination of berries, sugar, and the right amount of cooking and later this winter we will see how delicious this combination is for tasting. This outdoor stove is used for quite a few things such as preparing the fresh milk for cheese making, or heating the water for a load of wash. Of course, Ilie is down in the valley in the evening to walk the cows home. Somehing new in th neighborhood or "mahala" this week. Public Works construction of a new water line. You can see the modern back hoe at work as it dug a deep canal (they call it "canalizatie") right down the street. The thick rubber water line was laid in, and the canal covered up. Well that's another day done here in Moldova as the sun sets in the west, you in American have a whole afternoon and evening ahead of you. Good night.
