Google Scribe on betabloggerin uusi ominaisuus. Tämä ei toimi vielä suomeksi, joten päätin kokeilla englanniksi. Olen sitä mieltä, että kirjoittajan on kyllä osattava kieltä melko hyvin, jotta tätä voi pitää apuvälineenä. Oman tekstin tuottaminen tökki pahasti, kun piti jatkuvasti valita tarjotuista vaihtoehdoista. Kertaakaan ei vaihtoehdoksi tullut pistettä. Siksi tämä muistelutarina on niin pitkä, että se piti katkaista Jos haluaa lukea koko tarinan, pitää klikata postauksen alareunassa olevaa linkkiä Lisätietoja. Minun mielestäni siinä voisi lukea Jatkuu.
I
wanted to see my old strawberry place on a hill nearby. When walking
along the old path I noticed lots of leaves of arctic raspberry but I
didn´t see any berries to pick up and taste. I still remembered their
delicious mouth watering taste like yesterday, though. There was a ditch
to cross and a bit farther away I saw an old blueberry place now
shadowed by old spruces on my right. There used to be two fields up on
the hill.
One of the corn fields was not discernible
any more. I could imagine it quite easily because it was engraved in
my brain. I decided to take a walk round the other one where I could
see barley, oats and cabbage grow. While walking I had flashbacks and
felt the heat of the sun and sweat pouring down my forehead during the
haymaking just the way I did as a teenager. Now every single plant was
covered by dewdrops. It was early and the night had been pretty cold as
usual at this time of the year. Maybe it wasn´t dew but the clouds
were moving round the hillside. That was more likely.
The
crop was not to be harvested because it was meant for wild animals. I
could not see any reason to stay longer and so I walked down
to the house. Just the moment I came out of the forest I noticed two
young men walking on the path. They did not seem to have noticed me so
far. It is so rare to meet anybody in wilderness that I had to make a
move. I shouted at them, which made them stop. After introducing myself I
asked who they were and why they were walking by. That was something I
would never do in town. I think I felt safer in the country. Besides,
my husband and my brother were around.
