Oh, my dear deers. They not only came to breakfast, they stayed for lunch-which I don’t serve. However, I do serve up entertainment and they where the stars.
Or as Anya would put it: “The bane of gardeners, the delight of guests”.

Truly, I am complete with Prana. The Ellwanger Estate B&B has just completed a full upgrade to the finest organic mattresses made of 100% natural rubber Talalay imported from the Netherlands, quilted with wool and Talalay, and clad in silk, wool and cashmere. This is a rare-find for an affordable Bed & Breakfast accommodation, in Rochester, New York.
Though some guests will no doubt want to spend much of their time exploring Rochester and the Finger Lake region, the Ellwanger Estate Bed and Breakfast, itself makes for no ordinary place to return to for the night or the afternoon rest.
What a difference a bed, a night, and a day will make, all the while sleeping on a cloud. “Prana sleep is amazing sleep”. Looking forward to your visit.
Settle in for the evening at the Ellwanger Estate.
Lovingly restored to its original glory, the historic Ellwanger Estate offers its own spa, gourmet breakfasts, and an enviable location in the heart of Rochester’s Mount Hope Cultural District. Sit on the wraparound veranda at this urban retreat and gaze out at the gardens, or grab one of the DVDs from the extensive library and get cosy in your beautifully decorated room.

The perfect marriage proposal with the element of surprise!
Huffington Post featured an article titled: This Disc Jokey’s Sketchy Marriage Proposal Rocked
As a disc jockey, Scotty Brooks is used to playing up the element of surprise.
He perfected it in a marriage proposal for his girlfriend Dianne that can best be described as sketchy.
Brooks, a DJ for 100.5 The Drive in Rochester, had an ingenious idea to propose to Dianne via a caricature artist.
“I was trying to think of something different to do [for a proposal], said Brooks, who has dated Dianne for about three years. “She has a love of pictures and things to hang up on the wall so I asked myself ‘What can I do so she has a physical memory of that day?”
Brooks came up with his caricature idea and then got sneaky.
He found the perfect spot to propose — the gardens of the historic Ellwanger Estate in Rochester — and found a caricature artist who was willing to play along. The caricature artist was Dave Bippy Boyer from Rochester, NY.
But, how could he explain to Dianne that a caricature artist would randomly be waiting for them at the gardens when they arrived for a Sunday stroll?
He couldn’t.
So he told her his radio station was offering free caricatures that day for all Clear Channel Media employees and their families as a promotion. He also told his co-workers his plan so they could play along if she asked them about the caricatures.
Dianne fell for it.
The couple arrived for their “scheduled” sit down with the caricature artist and posed for fifteen minutes as he sketched them — adding a big ring and a “Will you marry me?” bubble.
They were the longest fifteen minutes of Brooks’ life and then, were followed by the longest ten seconds as the artist presented the sketch to them and Dianne looked at it not quite comprehending.
“Are you serious?” she finally asked.
When Brooks answered by getting down on one knee, she knew the answer.
And he already knew hers.
