Winter's approaching

In Israel, the rain is only in the winter, so no only temperature signifies seasons. It's the humidity, too.

On Monday, after the funeral, it suddenly rained. Chazal, our sages, say that it rains after the death of a tzaddik, holy person, to show that the heavens are crying. I told it to one of the grandson's who was traveling home with us, and it comforted him.

Yes, it rained in a number of places in Israel on Monday.

Then, yesterday, it took much longer than the week before for the laundry to dry. Rain clouds also passed over the house. It's much more humid than before.

Winter's on its way.
