We
did it! We moved a full-grown olive tree from the city to
our desert homestead. It went through a lot as we put our
pea brains together and came up with a way to move a twenty
year-old tree from a small courtyard over a five foot wall!
It was too crowded there and close to the house so if we
had not rescued it, her life would have been over.

Olive
Come out of depression
Make me your own
I sense you know me
You draw me with your breath, your life
I need you now as you now need me
We're in Sonora in whipping Spring winds But you've
been through much more then that
and you will survive
I will see that you thrive
This poem was written during
the two months my transplanted olive tree had yet
to show new growth. When doubt came, I only had to
bask in her presence to feel her spirit and know it
was just a matter of time.

Before the move, she was full of branches. |
More
on the olive tree move. My Sunset Western Gardening
book assured me it could be moved with almost 100% surety
of success! I tried to think my way out of it and almost
called the givers numerous times to cancel. But I couldn't
get around that inspite of the difficult location, I still
wanted the tree and didn't want it to die.The new owners
said when they moved in, it was covered with olives. Fruiting
olive trees are illegal to plant new in Pima County, but
you can transplant.

Monsoon
mosquitoes take over warm evenings in the Sonoran
Desert. Drought and fires continue. Hopefully, there
will be heavy rains before it is all over.
If
you need a good dentist and are willing to drive
to Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.. I have a good one there
now. I used to go to Baja
outside of Tijuana so I was glad to find one near
me I like.
