A Morning Walk

Each morning before or after breakfast I try to go walking around our village (moshav). I have two routes I enjoy. The locals here describe the routes as the"old" moshav and the "new" moshav.This morning I decided to walk the "old" moshav and brought my camera along to capture some photos to share!
For those of you who have just started reading our  blog, we live in a small Yemenite village which consist of about 100 families along side the Jezreel Valley in northern Israel. Follow along with the pictures to see more of our moshav!

My pathway through the moshav:

Our mailbox/post office:

 Childrens daycare/elementary school for the moshav

 A little bit of fall color, but nothing compares to the Great Smoky Mountains in the fall! Oh how I missed your color this year NC!
Cactus plants are all around, careful not to get to close!

 Vegetation around the moshav in November:

 Clothing lines are commonly used in the moshav outside or under patios

 Olive trees are in abundance not only here but all over Israel!

 So here is where the fun comes in- About twice a week during my walks I secretly pick fruit from our neighbors tress :) Not sure If I'm really suppose to, but normally what doesn't get picked falls on the ground. So I think it's okay- I only take a few! This morning I got a few clementines and oranges.

Self timer in the street!

 Blueberries...One of my favorite!!! Anxious to pick them soon :)

 Date trees are also in abundance here. Our neighbor will occasionally bring us a BIG plate of "sweet" dates and walnuts!

 Kids from the school on there daily walk

 My favorite yard in the moshav

 Bus stops and the synagogue for the Yemenite Jews:

 Mini Market in the moshav:

 Announcements, events, & news posted on a bulletin board outside the mini market. I can't read any of it...

 Love those fruits and veggies!!!

 Yes we have pumpkin! Real pumpkin all year around!

 Morning was a little chilly but quickly warmed up into the mid 70s :)
