The Martins in Almaty

Maxim is looking at the cows that go by every morning and evening.  The first time I mowed the lawn, I let the clippings lay on the ground as fertilizer.  The owner of our place wanted me to pick them up.  I'll do anything to keep her happy so she continues to rent the place to us. 
 
I leave the grass in the street for the cows and sheep.  The young man across the road saw me putting it there one day and he hustled over and asked if he could feed the clippings to his chicks.  Those chicks tore into that grass like there was no tomorrow.
   
This is Marina, our wonderful nanny who takes care of Maxim while we are at school.
   
This is the herdsman who pushes the cows along everyday.
