The wisteria is blooming outside our door, there are bluebells pushing up through our lawn. It's been a pleasure to spend time in the garden this month. Last shabbat, along with some guests who had come round after shul, we ate lunch out there, gathering round a table filled with hummous, challah, cous cous salads and other goodies and basking in the sun. It's Lag B'Omer soon, and we have a pile of wood ready to make a bonfire.
I'm a big fan of outdoors Judaism - something which is a whole lot easier in Israel than in Britain, where any plans for a picnic or outdoors service or barbeque always need a back-up plan, just in case! But I'm feeling priveleged to be living somewhere where green and trees are never too far away.
