Gokul and Ramanreti

We visited Ramanreti (place where Lord Krishna used to play with his friends) and Gokul (place where Lord Krishna grew up). Having read or knowing all the mythological stories it was wonderful experience to be there.

Taj Mahal

One of the much awaited visits will not be complete without posting my shots of the world wonder. We visited TajMahal end of last year.I was quite amazed by its beauty, richness of art and craftsmanship. I had no words other than to stare at it to admire.

 

Bulbs

Bulbs are turning out to be trial and error most of the times. One year squirrels enjoyed them, one year I left the pots of deck and figured chilling period is good but not snow. This year, I got them and forgot to pot them and left them in refrigerator. Last month I was able to pot them and due to the warmer than normal weather, I see that they started to grow. I will provide update soon on what happens next.....

Trying Murukulu...

Visit to "Harvard Museum of Natural History"...

It is one of the places I would strongly recommend going. I felt like a compact version of "Museum of Natural History" in DC with addons like Glass Flowers and Paleontology section, etc...

Happy GroundHog Day!!

Even the ground hog is out today to see its shadow and tell us that spring is only 6 weeks away. So, I felt I should at least write something today. Its been 2 months from my last post. Holidays, Vacation and my laptop is out of hard drive space (I used have all pictures downloaded to my laptop, now it needs little cleanup before I can download anymore) are the reasons for not posting. I do have several pictures to post. Coming up soon....

Good Bye Fall

My daughter thinks...

...its Mr and Mrs Mallard family. After counting the ducks, I had to agree with her as you can find Mr. & Mrs Mallard + Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack :)

Fatteh

We tried our version of Fatteh with toasted pita, homemade hummus and yogurt seasoned with chilli powder, cumin powder and cilantro and it turned out quite tasty. Now, this will be frequent snack we may be looking forward to enjoy.

Frosty is back

Is the season over??

 

 With warm fall season we had, I still cann't believe the gardening season is over. I should have pulled all these plants and cleaned up before we had the Oct snow. I was waiting for the leaves to turn color and rake, before all those things happened we had the first snow storm. The support  provided for the vines was down with snow. The support stood all strong for Hurricane Irene but couldn't withstand the early snow.
