Babaannemin beyaz ve tombul kolu bana yast\u0131k olurdu uzun k\u0131\u015f gecelerinde. B\u00fcy\u00fck dedem yapm\u0131\u015f k\u00f6ydeki kerpi\u00e7 evimizi. Tarihini bilmiyorum ama bu y\u00fczy\u0131l\u0131n ba\u015f\u0131nda yap\u0131lm\u0131\u015f olsa gerek, \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc tavan\u0131nda hem Osmanl\u0131ca hem de T\u00fcrk\u00e7e yaz\u0131lar vard\u0131.

Neyse bu  konu ayr\u0131 bir hik\u00e2ye asl\u0131nda. Gelelim anlataca\u011f\u0131m hik\u00e2yeye; ot oburlu\u011fumun, k\u0131rlara olan sevdam\u0131n hik\u00e2yesine…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Babaannem bir koyun, ben ise kuzusu \u00e7\u0131kard\u0131k k\u0131rlara. En \u00e7ok May\u0131s ay\u0131n\u0131 severdik, k\u0131rlar\u0131n bayram yerine d\u00f6nd\u00fc\u011f\u00fc ay\u0131… May\u0131s ba\u015f\u0131nda Elaz\u0131\u011f Ovas\u0131’ndaki k\u00f6y\u00fcm\u00fczde t\u00fcrl\u00fc t\u00fcrl\u00fc otlar toplard\u0131k. May\u0131s sonunda yazl\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z olan Hazar G\u00f6l\u00fc kenar\u0131ndaki evimize ta\u015f\u0131n\u0131nca, ovadan 400 metre daha y\u00fcksek olan g\u00f6l ikliminde mevsimi geriye sarar, ayn\u0131 \u015f\u00f6leni bir daha ya\u015fard\u0131k \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc tam bir ay fark vard\u0131 arada.

K\u0131\u015f\u0131n bile ot ve yaban meyvesi toplamalar\u0131m\u0131z devam ederdi. Karlar ya\u011fsa bile su g\u00f6zelerinin i\u00e7inde yeti\u015fen aciceler (su teresi) her ak\u015fam sofram\u0131z\u0131n ye\u015filli\u011fi idi. Taze yarpuz yapraklar\u0131 ile yap\u0131lan ayran a\u015f\u0131n\u0131n tad\u0131na doyum olmaz, hastalar\u0131 yataktan kald\u0131r\u0131rd\u0131.

Sonbahardan k\u0131\u015f ortas\u0131na kadar so\u011fuk vurduk\u00e7a daha da lezzetlenirdi bu yaban meyveleri…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
