Climate Change & Breakfast.

/in /by

At Capra Strategy, we love ourselves some quality breakfast. That’s one reason why we’re so in love with our local bed & breakfasts. We just finished up work on the Finger Lakes Bed & Breakfast Association (FLBBA) website, and we say this because …

  1. It’s a great website, and
  2. The breakfasts are hot

Actually. Every single bed & breakfast (that’s 40+) in this association cooks a hot, gourmet breakfast to serve guests each morning. With treats like Finger Lakes coffee and other local ingredients, that means starting the day off right for you.

So what about climate change & breakfast?? This article discusses the disruptions our warming earth has on livestock, water, and crops.

It’s a serious matter, and we’re curious what you think. We also think you should … book a FInger Lakes bed & breakfast now … make sure you get a great breakfast soon.

(Search by location, amenities, and last minute availabilities!)

  • Even other B&B owners!

This article from The B&B Coach highlights 7 tips you may or may not already use. … At Capra, we don’t “play favorites.” But we can say we are quite fond of #1:

Where Summer Meets Fall: Everyday Flower Arrangements from Martha Stewart

/in /by

It’s end of summer, beginning of fall. In Rochester, NY (where we are), upstaters don’t always love this. … Fret not! Summer into fall is lovely. The final blossoms from flowers mingle with the beginning turn of leaves. It’s that maple-y delicious smell. You know. The sweet and sticky scent you catch while walking by, maybe as twilight turns to ink.

The smell warms you like a Pumpkin Spice Latte. 

At Capra, we say: Bottle that up, & bring it into your home! Especially if you’re feeing blue. Bring some of the lingering summer warmth and the bursting fall foliage into your space. Here are 31 everyday flower arrangements that we love, compliments of Ms. Martha Stewart.

Where do we recommend you buy some of these florals?

Your favorite place, of course! Here are just a few suggestions:

These are just some hot spots. You know your local fav. Maybe it’s around the corner or near the tools & paint brushes! Either way, we’d love to know from who & what.

What did you make?

Send pictures! We’d love to hear from you. Let us know if you want it Pinned, Posted or Tweeted, too.

(And Psst. We’ll let you know if we make any arrangements ourselves.)
