mandies today

...........................mandies

Last weekend my hubby travelled back to our old place to collect the last of our 'stuff'. After a 4 hr drive and a mountain of odd things to pack on the ute he said his last goodbyes to the house that been our home for the last 8 years.

This is the place that saw many happy birthday parties, our kids screaming down the front driveway hill on bikes, family times in the garden, planting sunflower seeds on Fathers Day, watching storms rolling in from the veranda and playing in the rain. many treasured family moments.

We had planted an orange and Mandarin tree a few years ago, on the most part the fruit wasn't so good because of lack of water. a couple of years ago I had been watering the mandy tree from the rain water tank before I went away for the weekend. the next night whilst phoning home I was 'informed' that I'd left the tap on and the tank was empty....oops

That season was the best mandarins we ever had. plenty of juicy, yummy mandies.

My hubby returned from the pack up trip with 4 mandies from the tree.....there was only 4 left on the tree. thank you, thank you Universe. this morning felt like the right time to enjoy them. we all sat down together and celebrated our togetherness, our letting go and our new beginnings and enjoyed our juicy offerings
