Rain and snow!!!

Poinsettias in my garden

Temperatures continue to plunge. It was barely 11 degrees this afternoon. And it continued to rain and drizzle. It is cold .... so very nice for Christmas! Weather forecast say it'll drop to 2 degrees by Wednesday next. And it's snowing up in the Golan Heights .... let's hope this keeps up till Christmas and the snow comes down south.

This weather is good for the flowers. The wild poinsettia in our garden is flowering well ... it's over 3 meters tall. All the bulbs are also growing and ready to flower. Even the echium is ready to bloom.

Despite the weather and health issues, have been working very hard. Started early yesterday and ended around 10pm. Exhausted. This morning was very giddy. Have been suffering from diarrhea. Found out it was a side-effect from the medicine I'm taking. Same with the numb leg and tiredness. Quite an ordeal to work each day like this.

As Hannukah ends, we hope the tensions and violence will also end. Perhaps Christmas this year would be truly peaceful.
