Welcome to Northern, Northern California. Today, I take you to the edge of Paradise with roses and chocolate. I hope the sights, scents and tastes are to your liking.
We're in Chico, 8 miles from Paradise.
This garden is one of my havens.
My drink: a chocolate chai frost freeze from T. Fusion. Heaven in a cup. Best yet, this one was free. (Tenth one's free. This was my tenth in six months. Well, there were more but I only remembered to get my card stamped nine times.) Try it. No, not mine. Go buy your own. Sorry, I'm possessive about my chocolate. You'll want your own anyway.
Have a lovely, yummy Sunday and new week! xo Robyn
Love your Sunday! That choc sure looks yum.
ReplyDeleteI'll be visiting here often :-)
Hi, I love roses, so I would love this place. Enjoy your chocolate. Have a beautiful Sunday. x
ReplyDeleteThat chocolate looks quite milky, Robyn. I hope you'll acquire a taste for the dark stuff, which is good for you!
ReplyDeleteI have a rose just like that first one, I think it's called Joseph's coat? Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat rose with the water on it is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteNice Sunday post. I happen to be very fond of roses, had roses in California. Now that we are in Nebraska, I am adjusting to different weather and learning what to plant here. If I could have that yellow rose plant here I would love it.
ReplyDeleteThere are no coffee places in our little city but your chocolate drink looks delicious.
Those are some big roses! And that drink sure looks good. I like it that you seek out the good in your new place Robyn. So many people always look for what is wrong about a place. I always believe that life and home is what and where you make it!~Ames
ReplyDeleteWhat an exquisite garden! I could sit among your flowers for hours. You'd probably want to kick me out. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat frozen chocolate chai looks yummo. Unfortunately here in Chi town there is no T Fusion. :( I do however, love the frozen mochas at Caribou Coffee and the green tea frappuchinos at Starbuck's.
The roses are beautiful, the chocolate chai looks really good too.
ReplyDeleteOh my. That drink looks positively fantastic. YUM! : ) I am glad you earned it for free : ). I have always wanted to visit Northern California. Thanks for showing me around.
ReplyDeletePretty roses. My parents used to have a huge bush of old fashioned roses. I always loved it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tease you are with your drink!I don't think I would want to share either.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like the right drink to take the edge off a hot day...which I could use right now!
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet people.
ReplyDeleteRoses are my favorite. Oh, and the chocolate chai, sorry for being such a teaser. My expanding belly's telling me I should start to share. We know I won't, though.
Julie, Joseph's coat is a great name for that rose. Thanks for the info.
MsA, glad you like it.
TechnoBabe, sorry for the lack of roses and coffee places. I'm sure there are other enjoyable sights and tastes to make up for it. Thanks for visiting.
GB, I really need to go to the dark side more.
Melissa, you're welcome anytime. I also love the green tea fraps at Starbuck's, even though they are without cocoa.
Happy new week!
xoRobyn
As long as no coffee is involved, I'll try it!
ReplyDeleteAlas, no chocolate this weekend. But I did have some of my sister's home-made fudge. Next best thing to chocolate!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous roses!!
ReplyDeletemmm - looks yummy! My dad just moved here from Paradise :) Happy Sunday
ReplyDeleteThe flower pics are beautiful and that drink looks really yummy!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
I love roses! Pretty, pretty pictures! Have a great weeka as well!
ReplyDeleteThe roses are very pretty but that chocolate looks amazing. I can't believe you've only had ten in the last six months even accounting for the odd card-stamp-forgetfulness!
ReplyDeleteYum, that drink looks and sounds delicious. It is almost warm enough here to start thinking of frozen drinks.
ReplyDeleteI always love your Sundays photos, and I'm now dying for one of those chocolate drinks!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week! :)
UM, YUM on that drink and the flowers so pretty...my sunday - cleaning...my Monday? Brownies in the oven...much better
ReplyDeleteI love Chico and I LOVE your roses! I swear I can smell them from here.
ReplyDeleteFlowers and chocolate drink? Yep, sounds like about paradise!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog you have!

ReplyDeleteThat chocolate frozen drink looks ridiculously delicious.
ReplyDeleteChocolate chai frost freeze. Oh...my...God...that looks better than se....
ReplyDeleteNo, check that.
It looks ALMOST as good.
Al, I take what I can get. That's why I drink so many of these.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Fab, it really is.

Terra, yes, brownies make for a good start to the week.
Meri, thanks so much.

Myrelish, frozen drinks make the heat manageable.
Rosalind, I do tend to think about them daily.
