It must be that in our very modern country, we waste water by growing grass, and using hosing as a cleaning method. Whether washing cars, or power-hosing buildings and even cemeteries, much too much water is wasted. Israel is really a desert country. It only rains here in the winter, and there aren't natural water sources. We should be saving every drop.
Well, I've agreed to use the results of rainfall to feed my neighbor.
What's the point of leaving all the green weeds to dry out?
Look at how flat it now is.
Look a little closer...
And here's the happy neighbor!
the itinerary of my last 2 trips to israel did not take to the greener parts of the country. i had almost forgotten that grass can grow in israel altogether.
ReplyDeletegreat pictures.
Shhh, don't tell anyone, but they are weeds, green from winter rain.
ReplyDeleteShhh, don't tell anyone, i'm from brooklyn so i don't know the difference between weeds and grass anyway.
ReplyDelete(and in any case, those certainly are beautiful weeds you have there in israel.)
Between Pesach and Shavuot the gorgeous green becomes yellow straw.
ReplyDeleteBrooklyn's not that bad; I was born there!
