The first olive

So, this little olive tree was munched way down by the deer (or other critters) about a year and a half ago.

But it was a birthday gift from dear friends, so I just kept watering it in hopes that it would rebound.

It’s had healthy looking new growth at the bottom for quite some time, but today — I discovered the first olive!

This is so heartening, on so many levels. 🥰
