date dance

The guest house were we stayed.

Last weekend we visited our friends on the date farm. They had already been harvesting for a week or more and were happy for the helpful hands that visited that day as they have more dates than they can process.


Jay was in the lift before breakfast was served but changed jobs later in the morning when more friends arrived and took over the picking.


Then he worked with several other men on installing wire for the new solar system while I worked at cleaning and sorting dates with the women.


We were happy to hear during the late-afternoon watermelon break that the 19 trays of dates that had been picked and sorted that day was a record number.


After sharing a time worshiping together and a quick dip in the pool we headed home tired but happy.

dancing in the pink

On the way back from the chicken pen, having delivered a late afternoon snack of parsley stems, I noticed the pink clouds. The Oleander bush provided a pretty foreground for the pink ballet in the sky.

The end of the Feast of Trumpets found us driving through the desert marveling at the beautiful sunset. We stopped several times to try to capture the Creator's beautiful painting in the sky.

Had a wonderful time celebrating the Feast of Trumpets with friends last night at the sighing of the new moon.
