Just remembered that “rest”is the theme of the Jewish New Year of Jubilee, which begins on Tuesday. How serendipitous:) Here is mine. Have a great week, Debbie!

I didn’t know that was the theme – how fortuitous. And a great theme for new year

Yeah in the year of Jubilee, every 50th year, everything goes back to 0 – farmers won’t plant and reap for a year, etc. – total rest of everything (I don’t know how that is with jobs:))

It took me a sec to find him. Very tall flowers or a small man? He look like he’s enjoying himself 🙂

🙂 Just grabbing the link to add to my post. I’ll see you tomorrow for the official link. I must know. Is he sitting among the flowers or are they so high that he’s relaxing with his eyes closed? He looks like a fake face to me.

He was on a bench in a gap between the flower beds, but ether angle hides that. He was enjoying the rare sunshine 😉
