Peaches In the Desert?

Of all things to try Oh heck, why not An orchard in the desert Is what we've got. A coupla years ago We bought some land Bulldozed it free of sagebrush Dug 100 holes by hand A tub of water On a tower high Was how we watered Hoses spread wide Planted more trees Pumped water from a canal Laying more hoses Buying another trowl 900 trees and growing An orchard in the desert heat This is where we'll retire Tree ripened peaches to sell and eat. So proud of my parents.
