Time to go to Bed ~

After a busy day it is always nice to look forward to slipping into my soft, comfy bed and relaxing with a book or two...or sometimes watching television. I love my bedroom, it is one of my favorite rooms in the house. Last night after working all day in the garden and a nice hot shower it sounded particularly appealing.
 
 
 
I like to keep a few flowers on the bedside table along with some books I am currently reading and a fragrant candle. This candle is Fig from Flora and Fauna, a really lovely fresh scent.

 
 And the roses...a David Austin introduction: Mary Rose. It is the rose that many years ago 
 started the  the interest in Austin roses in Southern California and in my opinion is still one of the best. All of the wonderful petals plus its amazing size and wonderful fragrance.
 

 
A few books, some lovely flowers,and the sweetness of fragrance in the air...come on Miss Twiggley it is time to go to bed!
 

 
 ~ Bonne nuit et doux rêves ~

    De bons livres, une petite bougie parfumée, la présence agréable d'un bouquet de fleurs... rien de plus parfait comme prémices pour de beaux rêves...
    Un joli billet.
    Gros bisous et bonne nuit !

    I just got my first ever David Austin rose catalog in the mail today! I've slowly been growing a love affair with roses as my garden grows (I know I never blog anymore, so you wouldn't know how it's growing...but it slowly is). I just buy from Lowe's or something like that usually, but really wanted to branch out. It's nice to see a recommendation! :)

    Your blog is a feast for the eyes, sugar. We lived in Southern California for many years and loved the weather. Then we move north to SF Bay area and then to Idaho to retire. Love it here also because it's a desert but it gets cold out here.
    xoxo,

    You are fortunate, indeed, to have the perfect climate to raise roses. The ones in your post and in your header are beautiful! Right now I am struggling to stay awake - I mean, as I read your title I was struggling.... me thinks it is time to go to bed!
