Exactly one year ago today we landed in Kiev to begin this adventure. Some days it feels like we’ve just arrived, others feel like we’ve been here quite a while. In any case, time marches on and life is good.
Two typical indicators of spring at home have not yet occurred here. We have not yet switched to Daylight Savings Time – Ukraine relies on the same schedule the US formerly used, and won’t spring forward until this Sunday. And we have not yet celebrated Easter – Ukrainians celebrate Orthodox Easter, which will occur the last Sunday of April. But even absent these indications, it’s clear that spring is here by the glorious weather we are enjoying. It has been sunny and clear here this week, with midday temperatures over 60 degrees F, except on the day when there were snow flurries! We like the trend, and can safely say now that our first winter here was a mild one. We’re told that the heat in our apartment will go off sometime in April.
