Let's get weaving

21 Cheshvan

The women are spending every spare minute weaving while everyone else who is fit and able able is ploughing and sowing like crazy in an effort to catch up and get the barley planted. How did we all get so behind? It's not just us, it's everybody. We have a creche at our house and we have just about every small child in KfarGanot in my kitchen! Mothers are turning up periodically to feed their offspring while young girls like Miri and Rivkah babysit. It's chaos! On top of that Yov and Vered are getting married next week. Uncle Shaul took delivery of a tent yesterday as he is worried about the weather and he won't get all the guests in his house even though it is by far the largest in the village. Someone ifs going to have to find time to erect it and get everything ready. Aunt Tirzah tells me that many of Yov's family will be coming he hasn't seen them for years. That is a surprise Uncle has arranged. He has fifty cousins, she says, not to mention their wives and children! I'm sure she's exaggerating, it wouldn't be the first time. But it is going to be a big event!
