Oh, Deer! (Here's my new piece in HUFFINGTON Post a.k.a. HuffPo)

In My Garden: Oh, Deer!  by Bonni Brodnick

They look like Bambi. Those adorable, innocent eyes. The quickened quiver of their noses. The pointed poise of their ears. Dear deers... they are destroying my garden!

POUND RIDGE PAST will be present tomorrow at PR Pride Day!

          Reminder: Pound Ridge Pride Day is tomorrow (Sunday, May 20) on Westchester Avenue. Will be tons o-fun ... great music, food, laughter, gaiety and lots of local mirth.

        I'll be signing books from 1-5 p.m.  (Do you have your second edition of Pound Ridge Past yet?) To the lucky winner at the recent Pound Ridge Library auction ... and you know who you are ... stop down and I'll sign the copy just for you.

        If you can't make it to the festivities on the Avenue, contact me at poundridgepast@gmail.com or PM me on our POUND RIDGE PAST Facebook page.
Copies are $30 + $4 for shipping/handling and I am happy to personalize the copy with a special inscription if it is a gift.

I am so thrilled to have been invited to read to the 3rd graders at Pound Ridge Elementary School. Sorry you won't be there.(You have to be in 3rd grade at Pound Ridge Elementary School.)

POUND RIDGE PAST @ Pound Ridge Pride Day

Pound Ridge is beautiful this time of year (I know, I know ... I say that for every season. But it's true. Seriously. Not. Kidding.)

Come get your second edition of POUND RIDGE PAST: Remembrances of Our Townsfolk signed at Pound Ridge Pride Day sponsored by the Pound Ridge Partnership. Help boost local businesses as we support the spruce-up of Scotts Corners. 

There will be a BBQ, music, old-fashioned ice cream cart, bake sale, pie-eating contest (ewww… gross), hula-hoop contest (hopefully with different participants) … and a heck of a good time.

                    

Sunday May 20, 2012  
1–5:00 p.m. on Westchester Avenue in Pound Ridge


If you find yourself behind the 8-ball and can't make it to PR Pride Day, you can always order a copy of Pound Ridge Past at poundridgepast.com (EZ to remember!)

"Is Black a Fashion No-No After May 1st?" -- Picked up by THE PALM BEACH PROPER

My HuffPost piece on wearing black after May 1st was picked up by The Palm Beach Proper.  

I looked at my chic mom and realized that she was far more fashionable than I'd ever be. My snow boots were hardly put away and here was my mother wearing turquoise Tory Burch ballet flats.  Read on ...

Is Black a Fashion No-No after May 1st?

Hungering with a Hankering? Come get a real "Taste of Pound Ridge"

What are you doing on Thursday night (May 3, 2012)?  If you're at all feeling hunger pangs at about 6 p.m., you'll want to come down to Scotts Corners for "Taste of Pound Ridge." As you nibble and sip your way through the evening, know that you're attendance supports the efforts of our wonderful Pound Ridge Library.

I'll be teaming up with Mrs. Scones herself for a real "Taste of Pound Ridge" with our silent auction offering of a signed second edition copy of Pound Ridge Past: Remembrances of Our Townsfolk and a gift certificate for half-a-dozen most excellent and scrumptious Mrs. Scone's Scones.  (My recent favorite is her lavender/blueberry scone. To die for.)

"Taste of Pound Ridge" is sponsored by the Pound Ridge Business Association and local restaurants like DiNardo's Ristorante Italiano, North Star Restaurant, Mariela's Wine & Cheese, Blind Charlie's, Albano's Grill, Plum Plums Cheese and oh-so-many more.
