Soon we will leave. Lists are scattered about the house like old Kleenex. I am using some of my spare time to practice Turkish on the library “Mango” site. Concentrating on valuable phrases like hello, bye, thanks, please and 'where is..' keep it earnest. And yet, learning is complicated because it seems our little words translate into three and four syllable words in Turkish, and are comprised of many, many consonants in a row. My phonetic versions of these words account for one of the lists.
We are probably rushing the Season, but already we have planted some annuals. On return from the Middle Eastern desert, I anticipate embracing our lush, green landscape. Which reminds me: I vow not to mis-spell "desert" in this blog. It is a very distracting bad habit that I have noticed frequently on the Internet.
