Lugnasa Garlic Planting Moon
A Latin day, this time with work on both Ovid and Virgil. Aeneid’s first 7 verses, its first sentence with the famous opening phrase, I sing of arms and the man. Greg sees a lot of progress in my work. It’s as if some dam broke a couple of months ago when I began using phrases to translate rather than whole sentences. The benefit of hanging in there.

The most important thing I can do is to read more and more. That ups my vocabulary, increases my facility with grammar and adds to my foundation in written Latin literature.
When I hit Friday afternoon on a week, I feel like the work week is over. Tours on Thursday and Latin all Friday morning, then a quiet time.
Tomorrow the garlic goes in the ground, the potatoes come out and I check the bees to see how the feeding is going. It will be a pleasure to work outside, as a change from all this head work, and in weather beginning to cool. The nights are better now, much better.
I’m also looking forward to getting back to Missing and the revision. This last three days: pre-op physical on Wednesday, tours on Thursday and Latin today has not left me with time for it.
