Hāʻawiʻia kēia hana maʻalahi i kāu Keʻahi Kalikimaka
Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i ka heleʻana o nāʻohana eʻoki i ke kumulāʻau Kalikimaka i koʻu wā'ōpiopio, aʻo kaʻokiʻana i kā mākouʻulu pono'ī he mau hana aloha i kēia manawa inā he kaikamahine kaʻu. ʻO kahi mea aʻu iʻikeʻole ai, inā paha heʻoiaʻiʻo maoli ke ala e hana ai i kahi lāʻau Kalikimaka i ka hope loa.
Ma kaʻoluʻolu, ua aʻo mākou i kahi hana hou no keʻano o ka hanaʻana i kahi lāʻau Kalikimaka i ka wā hope loa i ka wā i kipa aku ai mākou i Karabin Farms, kahi mahi lāʻau lāʻau Kalikimaka ma Southington, Connecticut.
Ua kālepa aku ka mea kanu ululāʻauʻo Michael Karabin i kēia kumuhana i ka wā i komo ai mākou i loko o ka kaʻa kaʻa puaʻa no kā mākou hoʻiʻana mai ka mahinaʻai ma hope o ke okiʻana i kā mākou lāʻau Kalikimaka:
No ka hana 'ana i kahi papa mele Kalikimaka loa loa ...
Ke kiʻiʻoe i kāu lāʻau Kalikimaka i ka home, eʻoki mua i ka galani wai. A laila, hoʻopau i hoʻokahi kīʻaha o ke kō i loko o ka wai aeʻae i ka paila e hoʻomaʻalili. E hana hou i ka hapalua o ka hapalua ma ke kumu o ke kumu lāʻau Kalikimaka. E hoʻonohonoho i ka lāʻau Kalikimaka ma kahi kūpaʻa, a laila nininiʻia i loko o ka wai kai mehana. E hoʻomau i ka hoʻohuiʻana i kahi wai hou, wai mālie i ke kumu lāʻau, e hoʻomanaʻo mau i kāu lāʻau Kalikimaka he nui ka wai.
Ua hoʻoholo mākou e hāʻawi i kēia ho'āʻo lāʻau mālama lāʻau, aʻo kahi mea aʻu iʻike ai i ka pule mua i ka laweʻana mai i kā mākou lāʻau Kalikimaka i ka home, ua like me ka mea i hoʻomauʻia ka pinepine o ka pine pine pine lōʻihi ma mua o nā kumu lāʻau a mākou iʻoki ai i ka wā i hala. ʻO ka hoihoiʻana o Needle he mea kupaianaha hoʻi.
Hōʻike kēia kiʻi i kā mākou lāʻau i ka lā 4 o Kekemapa: i ka pauʻana o kaʻaiʻana o ka wai kō. Ua hoʻokumuʻiʻo anei kēia hiʻona mai kahi hōʻailona oʻEnelani Nui i kā mākou lāʻau Kalikimaka ma hope loa? Eia kekahi kiʻi e hōʻike ana i keʻano o ke ola a me ka'ōmaʻomaʻo iʻikeʻia ai kā mākou lāʻau i Ianuali: hoʻokahi mahina ma hope o ke kuaʻana! Ua hanaʻia ma Ianuali 3, hōʻike ia i ka'ōmaʻomaʻo a me ka ulu o kā mākou lāʻau Kalikimaka a nalowale nā kola liʻiliʻi loa, me ka manaʻo nui he lāʻau nui ia.
