Good Morning and a happy 3rd day of the feast of UB to you!
And yes, the term for the weather conditions in Jerusalem for the foreseeable future with little exception is "sweltering."
With all the heat engulfing the Land we will see many of the migrators and in particular the white storks pass through without any delays as they are racing north to raise a new batch of offspring. They will in some instances make a quick stop in cut fields to "ingest" some exposed little tasties whether alive or dead. Lots of photos being taken of this event across the countryside.
That is bananas covered in the background.
Then lots of lambs wild and domestic across the countryside as well.
To answer some questions next we have a photo of a field of wheat which is being allowed to reach machine grade moisture levels and then be harvested for its grain.
Yes, to the question that it needs to be completely dried out including the stalk. This photo shows a good visual of how that process works. Notice some are more dried that others in sections of their stalks. In a week they will all be completely dried out if not sooner with this dramatic heat wave hitting the grain regions. By the way thank you Father for that acclamation to our faith. This field here did not get rains until into November so it was not ready for the First Fruits contest like the ones that germinated as a result of October rains but it is certainly aviv now and could be simply cut and dried and then winnowed very quickly.
Please remember aviv is a term we use to describe the moment the seeds become physiologically mature so that they can reproduce themselves. At that point they have lots of moisture in them but when dried can be easily ground into flour as we have demonstrated over the many years of doing this.
Then a nice little ridge view of a location which houses domestic grains, wild barley, wild oats and a few tares thrown in for good measure.
Last we have another domestic field of grain planted in one of the November rain location. In a week it will be dried out nicely for sickle methods of harvesting, and within a week after that by machine. Until one see's how rapidly grain dries when these weather events of sun, wind, and heat hit the Land it is difficult to imagine. I still think of Alan witnessing to this and reporting to his grain growing friends in Australia to the speed of this event.
Now I will start putting up the promised posts for today.
Our peace we give to you.
