Thunderstorm

Cherries galore
The weather is back to normal summer. No heatwaves ... but the ground is still thick with the desert sands during the sandstorm. Friday we had a very strange thunderstorm that should not have been. This is June. There was thunder and lightening ... it was like in winter. It was all very strange. Some religious jews are saying God is angry. This is the harvest of the wheat and rains will destroy the crops. Still it was quite spectacular to watch the lightening cutting the skies all night.

Well the cherry harvest seems to be good ... red, orange, green ... all colours. But I thought they're very expensive. 40 shekels per kilo. Other fruit are also in season: lychees, pineapples, peaches and apricots. They're all quite expensive. But then everything else is also expensive after Covid.
