Shhh..... Happy Father's Day

After walking to the bazaar this morning, sampling everything from olives to pears and walking home in the heat, Topi and Lina enjoyed their fruit and then took long naps. Shhh... Devrim and Lina are sleeping. Happy Father's Day!

Lina's afternoon nap on June 15 was interrupted by her naughty big brother, Topi.

The weather has taken a very warm turn, here, and while we are enjoying it, we're bracing ourselves for humidity that won't quit and nights that may not cool down. We don't have an air conditioner, and while this may bother some, we love to open up the windows and night and seal in the cool air during the day. This past Sunday we ventured out in the heat to visit our friends Sevinc Hanim and Husseyin Bey at their farm. They have goats and chickens and cats and dogs and turkeys! I think the pictures tell a better story than words can!

An 'American' Turkey, according to Husseyin Bey
