A very nice day ~

I had a very nice day today. I got up and went walking, came home and ate breakfast then went to the gym...


when I came home I noticed that the first of the Tete-a-tete daffodils were blooming in the driveway. Last fall I removed all of the plants here and put in gravel and rocks, with a few staggered planting  pockets containing herbs and these bulbs...all to cut down on watering and maintenance, so far it is working out well.


My other surprise of the morning was a delivery waiting on the door step, my new David Austin roses! Gravel in the driveway so I can have some new roses...seems like a good trade off to me. I ordered three Alnwick roses, a very pretty pink rose that is supposed to perform well in warmer climates and an Abraham Darby, a wonderful apricot rose, to replace one I was forced to takeout a few years ago.


And you might ask, "What was Miss Twiggley doing?". Well after her morning play time and breakfast she spent the rest of the morning doing what she and most cats do best, getting their beauty sleep. When she is curled up asleep like this she looks like nothing more then a puff of multicolored fur.



And...tonight I have Zumba! All in all a very nice day.

Thank you for visiting, I hope you had a nice day too.

  3. Adrienne, Oh boy, you are a busy girl but with such fun things to do. Keep it up, it's so good for you. Your pictures are so pretty. I love your header and the idea of adding rock is so practical and looks so good with the little patches of daffys. Spring is coming!..Happy Thursday..Judy

    1. This is my normal Thursday as far as exercise is concerned, and you are right, I do seem to sleep better on these days. (-:

  5. WOW - you go girl. I wish I was younger and could exercise like that. Beautiful pictures and I just love your cat. So beautiful.
    Can hardly wait to see your roses in bloom. Mine are really growing after pruning - can hardly wait for blooms.
    Have a great weekend.

  6. You had a day full of activities, very busy day!
    I love D Austin's roses and have some in my garden.
    Thank you for your sweet coment on my blog. It is very hard to lose such a friendly dog and it was all of a sudden. I must keep busy and look after my other dog who is very sad too.

  7. What fun to have beautiful blooms to come back to. Beauty sleep is definitely important. She's such a sweet little puff ball. Enjoy your fun and activities.

  8. Hello Adrienne:
    Well, spring certainly does seem to have arrived with you and what a joy the tiny Narcissi are. You must be so thrilled. In our gardening days we grew many David Austin Roses and knew the nursery very well as it was relatively close to where we lived.
