My friend John sent over a text that declared it was OK to take the fig tree he delivered from his careful pruning at the end of autumn out of our shed.
My dear wife Karen and I teamed to hand-cart it onto its new backyard home.
Half sun, half shade will be its new order of life.
We can move it to other spots if this one doesn’t seem to be to the fig tree’s liking.
I can only hope it grows up to become like its ancestors in John’s backyard.

I saw this post yesterday and didn’t have time to write my comment.
I came back today to post the comment, but can’t remember what it was I wanted to say. Must have been a figment of my imagination.
