Tour of my backyard world

.
Happy spring to all of us in the Northern Hemisphere!
Israel turns from brown to lush green before spring actually, when the winter rains first wet ground that has been dry for half a year.
.
Would an end-of-winter walk in my yard count as a guided tour for That's My World Tuesday?
.
The view from my window for now is almond blossoms on a young tree that planted itself just a few years ago.
.

A 3-year-old can get lost in the tall wild grasses.

Jackals have made this their crossing place from the upper terrace to the lower terrace.
They have worn a path through the yard.
Sometimes at night they stop and howl near my window.
.
When I moved to this little house six years ago, the beautiful old terrace walls were covered with parasitic thorny vines.
I exposed the beauty of the stones by cutting the creeping plants and pulling them away.
.
I was digging around and raking once and discovered a paved path hidden beneath several inches of soil.
Now I have an easy way to reach my new compost pile of plant cuttings and kitchen scraps.
This photo shows the early morning dew sparkling.
.
Looking down from the street above, my yard is quite hidden from view.
The neighbors' big red-roofed house is down on a lower terrace, across another street.
The sky was hazy on the day of this photo but normally you can clearly see the western neighborhoods of Jerusalem across the valley.
.
The bare pomegranate and fig tree branches will soon have leaves and flowers and then fruit.
They and the olive trees and my grapevines give nice free food.
.
Our little village (moshav) on the hill is a quiet and pleasant place to dwell.
