Kanuka Dreaming

I have a darling kanuka tree that loves me as much as I love it.  It is ever so appreciative of the fact that I cut down the neighbouring trees that were fighting for space and sunshine and let it become the Queen of my yard.  Under it my darling hubby built our baby girls a sandpit that the tree kindly  shelters.  I am thanked every spring by my lady kanuka with a blaze of  pink flowers.  I love to sit under the tree while my two year old picks strawberries and my tiniest girl snuggles into me, and dream up the most wonderful plans.  I am working up the courage to thump my nervous fingers on the keys of my laptop and make them official, if only to myself.
