The other day as I was coming home from work, I saw these flowers right outside my building. I stopped to take a picture. As I was taking my pictures and admiring the flowers the door man came outside to get some air. He is a nice, older gentleman who always speaks to me. He does not speak any English and he mumbles terribly when he speaks Russian - so I never really know what he is saying. As I got up to head inside, I saw him standing on the front stoop. He had a huge smile on his face as he started talking to me (a mile a minute), pointing to the flowers and then to me. About the only word I caught was flowers ... so I smiled back at him, kinda giggled and said "da da." He kept talking to me for a few more minutes and I added a few more da da's. Finally, I said good day and went in. I have no idea what the conversation was about ... but he still smiles at me and speaks to me when I see him. So at least I know I did not offend him somehow!
When I was putting the pictures on my computer I noticed the cute little bug sitting on the flower petal (left side). Maybe I should go down and tell the door man he has bugs in his flowers! Haha.

Beautiful flower...Cute bug...I am studying the book of Joshua over the summer and am reminded of you when I read the words "be strong and courageous", because that is what you are Susanna.
I so admire your bravery for being where you are and doing what you do...learning a language you didn't initially plan to learn. WOW! Jesus will bless your flexibility, sister!
You are in my prayers.
to the ugly bug ball, ha ha ha...now I will sing it all day. Thanks tu mama
