olives

Our first olive tree, and probably the only one we shall ever have. We dug it out of the earth at the “pépinière”. They said it was five or six years old and there was a chance it would survive moving. It did not only survive, but bore fruit. We hope it won’t damage the wall. We shall not talk to experts about. We don’t want to hear about how it will. We will keep it and feed it and trim it to look more and more beautiful. And when it gets big we will sit in the shadow and blame the cracks in the wall on the djinns.
