There is a certain fatalism about Ukrainian and Russian men that says, It isn't my time to die.<br /><br />I already miss the shade and will miss the blossoms in spring. The rotten cherries all over the ground, not so much.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-42812367177617965362010-07-21T18:37:31.531-06:002010-07-21T18:37:31.531-06:00I'm glad I ate as much of those cherries while...I'm glad I ate as much of those cherries while I could!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-27337465760551651992010-07-21T11:19:35.274-06:002010-07-21T11:19:35.274-06:00A few years back we had 9 trees removed from front...A few years back we had 9 trees removed from front of the property.
