Hot Pink Hydrangeas For A Fifty Year Old Man

I  wanted to share these images of the beautiful hydrangeas from our garden that I brought inside for the cake cutting ceremony the boys, Papa and Little Daniel, and I had to commemorate my 50th birthday yesterday.

The hot pink is a favorite and compliments the floral accent pillows and ottoman perfectly. The beauty of the flowers makes it hard for me to want to do anything but sit in this room for hours with my laptop and classical music in the background.

This is a delicious fruit basket cake covered in fresh whipped cream that the boys, Papa and little Daniel, picked out.  It's from Freeport Bakery which is a European bakery and local favorite.

I added fresh Geraniums,also in hot pink from the garden, for a more festive and elegant touch.

To celebrate my 50th, we are leaving in a few days for 1 week in Rome and another week in our favorite city, Paris. Of course, our little American will be sharing this adventure through his eyes. Please stay tuned.
