I just thought I’d take a couple of photos to show you how vividly green everything looks after the latest bout of rainfall. In Mediterranean climates, the winter and early spring are the months of abundance and rich pasture, while summer is the dry, lean season. We have winter flowers about to burst in a riot of color and, as you can see above, our apricot tree is already budding. It’s my favorite tree, and has given us some delicious fruit last season, as early as June.
Our chickens are enjoying the fresh green grass, plenty of bugs and worms to vary their diet, and the sunshine after a few rainy days during which they were cold, damp and miserable (they can, of course, take shelter in the coop anytime, but they do get bored, and prefer to roam around even when it’s wet).
Wherever you are, I hope you are having a pleasant winter (or, of course, summer, if you are in the southern hemisphere) and keeping warm.

Oh that looks lovely! My winter here is full of snow, although I think it’s pretty warm. Hello from Canada!

I guess we all have a different definition of warm 🙂

You have worms in your backyard???!!! How fortunate you are! I’ve never seen a worm here; but, then again, I have never lived in the countryside here. I’m happy that Israel has them!

Chava, yes, when we dig up a patch of earth I always see plenty of worms, and I call my chickens to pick up the treat!
