Laundry in The View

No, not that The View. This view. The view I have while doing my laundry someplace different than my regular place I do laundry. Oh, the excitement of island life is so good. As is The View.

This boat was pretty far away but I could still almost feel being heeled over like that.

There were other things to look at on a slow, hot and lazy day (although I consider doing the laundry to be the antithesis of being lazy - not the ultimate antithesis, but enough to note I did something productive when I'd rather have been in front of a fan or in the water). A walk down by the canal was pretty pedestrian (yes, intended) until I saw this boat, these people and 4 dachshunds. 4! in their little life vests and very relaxed being aboard.

The different colored vests made me laugh. The whole thing made me laugh.

Genipas are ripe on the tree right now, but I've yet to get a good photo of them. They are usually in shadows and very much the same green as the surrounding leaves. It's on my project list. They are everywhere off the tree, for sale or to give away. Yesterday in Randaluz (the ferreteria) there was a big bag full for the sharing. A little boy and I filled paper bags that Marilu gave us. His face...he was so happy! If you're on island wanting genipas but you don't want to climb a tree, head over to Randaluz.

The bag didn't stay full for long

In the meantime, this palm tree is blooming riotously. With not one edible thing on it that I can see.

And here is the crazy flamboyant I was talking about yesterday. I've never seen another growing with such weed-like abandon.

Have a (go)wild Wednesday! Do something willy-nilly.
