Fall

Fall has arrived in Kyiv and while we still are experiencing beautiful sunny days, there is a tinge of coldness in the air and the leaves are starting to turn colors. Fall means it's time to prepare for winter so on street corners you see huge bags of onions and potatoes that people buy to get them through the winter as food prices go up considerably in the cold months. Some turn to canning and preserving although younger people seem not to do it as much as it is a lot of work and time.

I saw this couple in the market on my way to the Day Center and I had to take a photo. I love seeing old couples out walking together. It's rare sight.
