While Janna was studying in the garden in Oxford I was planting pink polka dot plants in our garden. We have a sun room that overlooks a garden and patio and it is a constant experimental lab, sometimes filled with beautiful flowers and sometimes growing unusual vegetables or herbs. The kohlrabi and chamomile are coming along nicely. The oregano wants to take over the world. The herb garden thrives on neglect and is doing beautifully as long as I water it during 100+ degree weather.
Janna mentioned Turkish Delights which makes me want to find a recipe for the same. I am forever behind in all that I'd like to do. I am just now reading through Zane's collection of textbooks on World War II for his Normandy Scholars semester and trip to Europe. Fascinating reading. The war is a series of painful and heroic complex layers of stories that want to be told, but can't really communicate exactly what the war was like.
I checked the computer periodically and missed Janna today, but I feel like we talked since she posted a blog entry and pictures about her day. I found the men in costume dancing rather odd.
