I grew up in a home where “Put a sweater on” and “Turn off that light” were common phrases. One of the reasons I no longer have a traditional cable box is due to the amount of energy I heard they consume and I unplug appliances such as my coffee maker when I’m not using … Continue reading Help me see the light – decisions about solar energy

Yoga Brunch
One of the most exciting parts of owning a restaurant, for me, is conceiving and hosting events. The Ladies First party last fall and our New Year's Day Open House, were two of my favorite afternoons spent at Lark + Lily in the near year (!) since we opened.

The true beauty of the facility and the horses just shines when the day is new and the air is fresh. It was a … Continue reading Saratoga morning
