T\u00fcrk\u00e7ede le crocus \u00c7i\u011fdem anlam\u0131n\u0131 ta\u015f\u0131r…<\/em>
\nEn turc, crocus se dit \u00c7i\u011fdem.
\nIn Turkish, crocus is said \u00c7i\u011fdem.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>C’est un bien beau crocus que nous avons h\u00e9berg\u00e9 au mois de juin pendant deux semaines\u00a0: Tchi. Les crocus, je les imaginais statiques, enracin\u00e9s, plut\u00f4t contemplatifs. Rien de cela avec Cigdem (prononcer \u00ab\u00a0Tchid\u00e8m\u2019 \u00bb), dont l\u2019\u00e9nergie (le tchi des Chinois\u00a0!) est presque excessive.<\/p>\n

We hosted a fine crocus in June for two weeks: Tchi. I imagined that crocuses were static, rooted, rather contemplative. None of this with Cigdem, whose energy (the chi of Chinese!) is almost excessive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sa famille a quitt\u00e9 la Turquie pour habiter \u00e0 Londres o\u00f9 elle est n\u00e9e. Parlant d\u00e9j\u00e0 le turc et l\u2019anglais, elle \u00e9tudie maintenant le fran\u00e7ais depuis un an\u00a0: elle travaille d\u2019arrache-pied comme \u00e0 chaque fois qu\u2019elle entreprend quelque chose, et nous pouvons le plus souvent converser sans difficult\u00e9 dans notre langue.<\/p>\n

Her family left Turkey to live in London where she was born. Speaking already Turkish and English, she is now studying French for an year: she works hard like every time she does something, and we can usually converse easily in our language.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Elle arrive le 5 juin gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 blablacar \u00e0 Dolomieu o\u00f9 je la retrouve facilement. \u00c0 midi, nous sommes invit\u00e9s comme souvent chez Ariane et Renato avec d\u2019autres amis\u00a0: Tchi fait connaissance avec chacun et se d\u00e9brouille pour se rendre utile le plus possible. L\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi est d\u00e9j\u00e0 avanc\u00e9 quand Tchi d\u00e9couvre le jardin et se met aussit\u00f4t \u00e0 la r\u00e9colte des fraises, pendant que Paul passe la tondeuse et que je travaille du s\u00e9cateur.<\/p>\n

She arrives June 5 thanks to blablacar in Dolomieu and I find her easily. At noon, we are invited as usual in Ariane and Renato\u2019s home with other friends: Tchi gets acquainted with everyone and manages to help as possible. It\u2019s late in the afternoon when Tchi discovers the garden and she begins immediately harvesting strawberries, while Paul uses the mower and I work with the secateur.<\/p>\n

Le lendemain, elle arrose la serre, puis elle pioche le ma\u00efs, plante les c\u00e9leris-raves, pr\u00e9pare les derniers plants de framboisier \u00e0 repiquer… L\u2019apr\u00e8s-midi, elle fait diverses plantations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The next day, she waters the greenhouse, then she weeds the soil around corn, plants celery, prepares the last plants of raspberry for transplant … In the afternoon, she plants several vegetables.<\/p>\n

\u00c9dith et Roland font sa connaissance \u00e0 l\u2019occasion d\u2019une de leur balades. Nous sommes invit\u00e9s chez eux pour un th\u00e9 qui se prolongera par un repas improvis\u00e9. Nous aimons toujours autant l\u2019improvisation.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Edith and Roland make her acquaintance during one of their walks. We are invited in their home for tea that will extend by an improvised meal. We always like as much improvisation.<\/p>\n

La pluie arrive et nous demandons \u00e0 Tchi de faire des travaux d\u2019int\u00e9rieur. Son dynamisme reste aussi grand. Elle a pu r\u00e9colter les fraises entre deux averses, je pr\u00e9pare une mousse \u00e0 la fraise et j\u2019invite Ariane et Renato pour partager ce dessert.<\/p>\n

Rain comes and we ask Tchi doing inside work. Her dynamism is still so great. She was able to harvest the strawberries between showers, I prepare a strawberry mousse and invite Renato and Ariane to share this dessert.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Il ne faut pas longtemps \u00e0 Tchi pour \u00eatre \u00e0 l\u2019aise avec notre forme d\u2019humour.
\nPaul lui r\u00e9p\u00e8te \u00e0 chaque repas que la m\u00e8re de Tchi nous harc\u00e8le pour contr\u00f4ler ses repas. Elle voudrait que sa fille mange plus, dit Paul. Mais Tchi r\u00e9siste vaillamment \u00e0 sa gourmandise.<\/p>\n

It does not take long for Tchi to feel comfortable with our form of humor.
\nDuring each meal, Paul repeats that Tchi\u2019s mother harasses us to control her meals. She wants her daughter to eat more, Paul says. But Tchi valiantly resists gluttony.<\/p>\n

Et quand elle a du temps libre elle en profite pour faire de la musculation.
\nElle prend vite l\u2019habitude des travaux r\u00e9p\u00e9titifs, arrosages, r\u00e9coltes…
\nNous allons encore une fois chez Ariane et Renato, ils ont rapport\u00e9 des sp\u00e9cialit\u00e9s italiennes \u00e0 partager avec nous\u00a0!
\nTchi est partout \u00e0 la fois, elle d\u00e9sherbe, fait du m\u00e9nage, et exige de travailler m\u00eame le jour o\u00f9 nous recevons nos amis Jean-Paul et Nicole.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And when she has free time she enjoys to do weight training.
\nShe quickly takes the usual repetitive work, watering, harvesting …
\nWe go once more to Ariane and Renato\u2019s home: they brought Italian specialties to share with us!
\nTchi is everywhere at once, she weeds, makes the household, and requires working the same day we receive our friends Jean-Paul and Nicole.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Comme chaque ann\u00e9e, Claude a laiss\u00e9 une ruche vide dans le parc\u00a0: un jour, mi-juin, je m\u2019aper\u00e7ois que les abeilles viennent de s\u2019installer.
\nLors des migrations, les reines sont souvent tu\u00e9es par accident, ou perdues.
\nClaude vient examiner la ruche. Il pr\u00eate l\u2019\u00e9quipement n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 Tchi qui \u00e0 son tour aper\u00e7oit les \u0153ufs, indice de la pr\u00e9sence d\u2019une reine.
\nCette ruche va donc pouvoir se d\u00e9velopper normalement.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As every year, Claude has left an empty hive in the park and one day, mid-June, I realize that the bees come to settle.
\nDuring migration, the queens are often killed by accident, or lost.
\nClaude comes to consider the hive. He lends the necessary equipment for Tchi who in turn sees the eggs, evidence of the presence of a queen.
\nThis hive will therefore be able to develop normally.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Louisette, notre ch\u00e8re amie canadienne, nous a enseign\u00e9 le \u201ctouski\u201d (\u201ctout ce qu\u2019il y a dans le frigo\u201d), art de picorer les restes.
\nTchi adore picorer, le touski est parfait pour elle.
\nElle a besoin de temps pour comprendre que la r\u00e9colte des am\u00e9lanches, c\u2019est tr\u00e8s long, ce sont des baies petites et qu\u2019on doit cueillir une par une. Pour elle, ce n\u2019est pas assez fatigant. Elle est contente qu\u2019on lui demande alors d\u2019agrandir le passage sous deux haies proches qui forment un tunnel, et comme elle n\u2019en a pas encore assez elle passe l\u2019aspirateur au rez-de-chauss\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Louisette, our dear Canadian friend, taught us the \u201ctouski\u201d (\u201ctout ce qu\u2019il y a dans le frigo\u201d \u201ceverything that is in the fridge\u201d), art to peck the leftovers.
\nTchi loves pecking, touski is perfect for her.
\nShe needs time to understand that the harvesting Saskatoon berries is very long: they are small bays and we have to pick one by one. For her, it is not quite tiring. So she is glad to be asked then to expand the underpass near two hedges which form a tunnel, and as it is not yet enough, she vacuums the ground floor.<\/p>\n

Un soir c\u2019est au tour d\u2019Ariane et Renato de venir manger \u00e0 la maison. Le t\u00e9l\u00e9phone sonne quand nous avons fini, S\u00e9b nous propose de parler sous skype depuis Livingston au Guat\u00e9mala.
\nJe lui annonce qu\u2019il a une nouvelle lectrice qui l\u2019adore, et j\u2019invite tout le monde dans le bureau de Paul pour admirer derri\u00e8re S\u00e9bastien les cocotiers et le soleil.
\nNous parlons bien s\u00fbr d\u2019H\u00e9lo\u00efse dans son h\u00f4tel au Cambodge, mais qui n\u2019a pas appris le cambodgien.
\nD\u2019habitude, il y a seulement Paul, S\u00e9bastien et moi pour parler sous skype, \u00e0 trois de plus c\u2019est tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent et tr\u00e8s amusant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One evening Ariane and Renato come to eat in our home, it\u2019s their turn. The phone rings when we finish to eat, Seb offers us talking on skype from Livingston in Guatemala.
\nI say to him that he has a new reader who loves him, and I invite everyone in Paul\u2019s office to admire the coconut trees and sun behind S\u00e9bastien.
\nWe speak of course of Heloise in her hotel in Cambodia, but she has not learned Cambodian language.
\nUsually there are only Paul, Sebastian and me to speak on skype, three more is very different and very fun.<\/p>\n

Que dire encore de Tchi\u00a0?
\nSa recette de moussaka, cuite \u00e0 la po\u00eale, est tr\u00e8s surprenante pour nous et vraiment excellente\u00a0!
\nElle a \u00e9t\u00e9 partout \u00e0 la fois, m\u2019a accompagn\u00e9e \u00e0 la v\u00e9getterie apr\u00e8s avoir rempli la remorque de branchages qu\u2019elle a coup\u00e9s, elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 toute heureuse de rencontrer nos petites-filles et de d\u00e9couvrir la cascade de la Roche.
\nLe 19 juin, nous l\u2019accompagnons chez Annick et Thierry, celui-ci et Paul se connaissent de vue, c\u2019est amusant. Nous sommes contents de leur confier Tchi qui va rester quatre ou cinq jours ici.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What more about Tchi?
\nHer recipe of moussaka, pan-fried, is very surprising for us and really excellent!
\nShe was everywhere at once, she accompanied me to the \u201cv\u00e9getterie\u201d (the place where we have to carry plant residues) after filling the trailer with branches that she cut, she was quite happy to meet with our granddaughters and discover the waterfall of La Roche.
\nOn June 19, we accompany her to Annick and Thierry\u2019s home, Paul and Thierry know each other, it’s fun. We are happy to entrust them Tchi who will stay four or five days here.<\/p>\n

Quelques jours plus tard, pr\u00e8s de Montbrison, elle rencontre Jonathan qui sera helper chez nous dans moins d\u2019un mois.
\nEt puis lors d\u2019un s\u00e9jour dans sa famille, les troubles que l\u2019on sait \u00e9clatent en Turquie.
\nQuand Jonathan sera chez nous, il sera souvent en contact avec elle et nous donnera des nouvelles rassurantes.<\/p>\n

A few days later, near Montbrison, she meets Jonathan who will be helper in our home in less than a month.
\nAnd during a stay in her family, the troubles we know erupt in Turkey.
\nWhen Jonathan will be in our home, he will often be in contact with her and he will say to us reassuring news.<\/p>\n
