A perfect day!

After a week of much-needed rain, we were very happy to see the temperatures rising again and bright sunshine covering our land. Friday we had 3 visitors here from the US and they joined us on a picnic to the Kurdish countryside. It was an absolutely picture-perfect day; mid-70's and warm sunshine. With young men along to do the barbecue and make the tea, I mostly sat and watched and relaxed. After setting up "camp", we noticed that we had front row seats to a Kurdish wedding that was about to begin. After climbing the high mountains behind us, our group decided to go down and check out the wedding. Before long, I noticed from afar that Elise was in the group dancing, then I saw Sarah also & DJ leading the dance procession! The people were overjoyed that these Americans had crashed their wedding party and joined them in their celebration. It was such a fun, relaxing day in every way. It may have been the last of this season but you never know; last year we were picnicking into December.
