Gently falling snow fell last night and now a Bend Blue Bird day to savor the beauty as the garden is officially tucked into bed. Grateful for this past weekend and time to lift the dahlias before the freeze arrived this week and has begun to set in for the coming winter. #tsllgarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CkwKScOS45C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Winter has arrived in Bend and we are savoring it - the pups and I. ☺️ And now that Friday has arrived, savoring the weekly favorite post can begin as well!

If I could share the scent of this rose through picture, I would. It is ahhhh . . amazing. 😌💛 @david_austin_roses 's Golden Celebration shrub rose with oodles of petals and a fragrance that will inspire you to grow roses, more and more roses - a scent described as Sauternes (a French white wine made with sémillon, Sauvignon blanc and muscadelle grapes) and strawberries. #tsllgarden #tsllreads #tslllepapillon #tsllsimpleluxuries https://www.instagram.com/p/CkWwimlu2qX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Office time begins with the morning sun streaming and the tea steaming. (snacks include blackberries from the garden, a biscuit and almonds ☺️ with a black thé from @damman_freres) #tslllepapillon #tsllgarden #tsllsimpleluxuries https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj3KsCvOW2B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
