Except for the vegetarians at the party nearly everyone tried the zombie arms. In past years I would make 2 tenderloin "arms" and would use chicken wings for the fingers, and often they'd be gone even before all the guests had arrived. This year I used 4 tenderloins, and cut one up to make the hands. I also made my truly deviled eggs, and set them out, turned to get the camera and already a couple were gone. meanwhile in the other room the witch sisters were getting no takers for their unicorn soup and hot toaddys.

The Pennsylvania Leatherwing Beetle, a good garden friend. Seeing very few of them this year. Casey, love that blue-eyed grass. It is one of those little things in nature that very few people notice. It grew in a few places around the yard at our Ohio home some 40 years ago. Haven't seen it since then.

Our first frost came last night/this morning.

Those berries are from Proven Winners, Amethyst™ Coral Berry Symphoricarpos x doorenbosii. Picture was taken yesterday and it is nice used in arrangements.
