Plague of locusts

Daffodils 

These 3 days are Bible epic ... a swarm of 30 million locusts are expected to blow into Israel from Egypt. Definitely not good for farmers whose wheat crops are just gathering starch in the grain.  http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/israel-bracing-for-possible-locust-spread-from-egypt.premium-1.507029

Newspapers say there was a rise in attacks by Palestinians against Israel. It could just boil over soon ...  http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/palestinian-attacks-in-west-bank-and-jerusalem-surged-last-month.premium-1.507250  But the papers similarly report that there's a rise also in Israeli attacks on arabs in the streets. http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=305343 

 Weatherwise it was so cold this morning, no one could believe it. And it even drizzled. Only the flowers and trees are enjoying this weather. Some fantastic daffodils bloomed yesterday morning.
