Poor harvest

Small boy up the tree

The changing weather has made us a little sick ... cold yet sunny. You never know what to wear ... it's either too much or too little. But it makes good weather for the olive harvest. I saw a poor arab family harvesting olives from trees in the public park ... that's how poor they are ... they don't have their own olive trees to harvest. The crop wasn't much ... small olives with little oil but I guess for the poor family, it's a bonus.  It was a sad sight - that families have been reduced to harvesting fruit from a public park just to see through the rest of the year. I was happy though that the police did not stop them.
