On Holy Tuesday, some observe Christ foretelling his own death. Matthew 16:21:
From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

I have to say it is not the “desert” I pictured. Quite lush and fertile mostly.

Read up on the transformation by the Israelis, starting with reforestation in the 60’s while focusing on getting water there. Seems they now have so much water they are exporting some to Jordan.

Hit the send button too soon. Here’s the rest of what I meant to include:

Mornin’ all ya’all! Gonna be warming mid-day, into the high 80’s. Got 4 loads of blankets washed and hung on the line in the sun, started some spring cleaning, put flea killer on the critters and gave heartworm meds to the dogs.
Massage this afternoon to treat myself, then dinner on the porch in the evening air! Hard to believe I used to get all this done AND work full time!

Mornin’ All. I am making an effort to go to bed a little earlier so I can get up a little earlier. It has been hard to get up on Wed and Sun mornings to get to church by 9:30 or 10:00, and so I figure I will just make it a habit. It is 22* with a clear blue sky and lots of sun. If I was still in FL I would be complaining about the heat and humidity. LOL
I can’t believe the Dems who are after Trump are not even trying to hide their motivations. Biden just makes me sick.
Well, on to other things. Have a nice day.

Good afternoon, aus! I keep making a vow to get to bed earlier, but can’t seem to break the habit of 2:00-3:00 AM. It’s mainly because I want to keep on reading articles plus viewing YouTubes of interest.
When I do finally get to bed at least I have my sweet Gee sleeping on his blanket at the foot.

I have just accepted that I am a night owl, and stay up until I need sleep. I try not to schedule early morning appointments, but if I can’t avoid it, I try to get to bed early the night before.

Good day, Stella! Is that for real? If so, it’s just further confirmation that our nation’s institutions are bringing about a total collapse.
That’s funny the phrase “the dustbin of history” is in the post when I used the same phrase up-thread and can’t remember the last time it even crossed my mind prior. LOL!
