Happy Mimosa Bokeh Wednesday! ~HBW~

These tree’s remind me of my childhood. We had one in the backyard and it always made me think of summer and the beach. It is so beautiful against the bright blue sky, and the flowers are so soft. Like thousands of little fiber optic lights, swaying gently in the summer breeze!
This one is on the side of the beach house....neglected, like most of the landscaping here. if this little shack were my very own, i would make it look so cute...cheerful and colorful with flowers in a tidy garden with a little picket fence. It has such potential.......... in my mind!
As i near the end of my time of bliss here, i think about what i will write in my thank you note to the owner. I ALWAYS leave him a note, thanking him for allowing this house to be a part of the summer memories for me and my girls....and now for my beans! I also ALWAYS remind him how much i love this little place and that if EVER there comes a time that he wants to sell it, i hope that he will give me first crack at it.....if there is ANY miracle that i could, i would snatch this up in a heartbeat. I do not want anything grand...i have had that......i just want a cute tiny place that is comfortable and quick to clean up, so that i can spend time by the sea. This is a definite case of “Less is More” for me! it does need a few things....like updated electric in ALL the rooms...not just 2 of them! Some cosmetic touches to bring it out of it’s dated 1950 look (The curtains are classic vintage 50’s!!! they have been here the entire 20 years i have rented it....and probably 50 years before that!!!) a cute front porch for sitting in the evening and listening to the surf, and a kitchen that fits more than 2 people without making me want to scream would be nice!! i don’t even care that there is no dishwasher!!
i am off to cook a swordfish steak. THIS should be quite interesting since i have never had swordfish, and i have no clue what i am doing. perhaps i will use Kathy’s BBQ (it’s gas....the one here is charcoal and i am NOT buying another bag!!) and settle in for the night....OR if the sunset looks promising i will drive up to the lighthouse and see what’s shakin’!
HBW, my friends!
