Winter in the Garden

Lookie the Garden Cat
waiting for Carly to come visit
or waiting for a bird to get too close?
Winter came to the Garden yesterday. Late Friday night it began to rain, temperatures dropped, rained all day Saturday often pouring. Did I tell you it was COLD? It sleeted off and on all day and the pilgrims kept coming! A group from Nigeria was in the garden when it began to sleet and shouted "ice is falling from the sky!" They came wearing what looked like every piece of clothing they brought with them from Nigeria. dejavu for us - we were in the garden years ago when it rained, sleeted and snowed while we were here.

Instead of going out to eat last night, the volunteers pooled our dinner and had a "pot luck" dinner at one of our apartments. We had a lot of fun after a very intense day.

More rain and cold weather is forecast for today (the rain is much needed in Israel) but it is supposed to begin to warm up tomorrow.

It is cold here today also. But no sleet and snow. My fire in the heater sure feels good though. My cat would not like your cat she is so old she doesn't like change at all, and very few people. Love Edna
