Every year, by the end of September and beginning of October, Mieh w Mieh residents start the harvest of the olive trees. At this period of time, the olive fruits are matured, ready to be picked up, and schools are not yet resumed, thus children would help their parents in this yearly job. Wherever you go in the village, you see people working on their fields, and you can realize that the village is almost empty, especially on Sunday at the church.

In case you are a Mieh w Mieh descendants, and you have experienced such season, you would understand the feeling. To whom that have not, you may ask your parents, or grandparents, to tell you the stories that never end about Mieh w Mieh, about all seasons in Mieh w Mieh, and how beautiful it is.
