Fun and Flora: Mom's Pots
http://funandflora.blogspot.com/2011/08/moms-pots.html
Thursday, August 18, 2011. Today I am wishing a very special lady, my dear Mom a "Very Happy Birthday." She is the one who inspired my love to garden, to create, to love life and family! I was quite impressed with her creativity with her pots around her deck this year, and I am very happy that I captured these photos before the heat waves hit Connecticut and our flora this summer. I have found the following books to be wonderful guides for planting in pots throughout the seasons:. Henry Carter Hull Libra...

Fun and Flora: November 2010
http://funandflora.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 10, 2010. The Pioneer Woman Cooks. My friends had mentioned to me about the "The Pioneer Woman Cooks" cookbook. So I was delighted to see it in the new books section of our library. What a cool cookbook in every way, from Ree Drummonds photography, her recipes, the design of the cookbook, as well as her personal stories of her family and living as "an accidental country girl.". Monday, November 8, 2010. This was definitely a sign that I need to dig up the gladiola corms in the garden&...

http://funandflora.blogspot.com/2012/01/balancing-act.html
Tuesday, January 3, 2012. The last 4 months of 2011 became a "balancing act" as I started a new part-time job. Along with learning about a new business and adjusting to less time at home, I was also operating Chelle Designs, LLC. Keeping up with family responsibilities, managing the house, and funding efforts for our local library. Phew! It was nice to finally be able to take a breath during the holiday vacation. Thanks to my amazing husband for allowing to refuel over the past week. Chelle Designs, LLC.

http://funandflora.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 9, 2011. During the Winter months I love to pour over the garden catalogs and read books about gardens or gardening.

Fun and Flora: October 2010
http://funandflora.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 28, 2010. For anyone that has lost a pet, it is a sad and heart wrenching experience. My dear friend Gatu' passed away two weeks ago after being very sick with bladder cancer. He was a buddy that showed me unconditional love for 16 years. He offered me comfort through rough times and saw me through joyous times as well. There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land o...When ...

Fun and Flora: Oy Latkes!
http://funandflora.blogspot.com/2012/01/oy-latkes.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. I use the Featherlight Potato Latkes. Recipe from my "Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant Cookbook.".

Pinch of baking powder. Freshly ground pepper to taste. Vegetable oil for frying (I use canola). Sour cream or applesauce to top off your latkes. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet, I u...
