My cukes are staging a comeback, but my basil doesn't seem to want to give up any of it's newfound territory. Thankfully, the purple beans continue to ignore the feud and continue to produce plentiful harvests:
Maurie and her daughter (and her daughter's friend) and their dog stopped by for a visit last night. The two girls decided to decorate my sidewalk with holiday themes:
Jill was in Baltimore last week (at Washington College), in Minneapolis this week, then off to Wisconsin next week. We manage to stay in touch by email, text, and phone calls (post run this morning):
While Jill is away, I'm taking care of her 3 cats. Mavis (the black one) likes me a lot. The other 2 (Baxter and Claude) tolerate me:
This afternoon was Sean and Amy's annual pumpkin carving party. Sean outdid himself this year with 40 cake balls on a stick and a prosciutto and cheese skull:
This is what the skull looked like after people helped themselves to tasty bits.
Afterward, we retreated to the living room for some serious pumpkin carving:
I went with the angry, upside down jack-o-lantern (no time for an intricate design):
Unfortunately, we didn't get to stay long at the pumpkin party because we had to be at Pete and Maria-Elena's for an Austin Shakespeare event. Their house was the perfect setting for a few of the Bard's soliloquies. It was a nice evening to be outside, and Pete and Glenn's home brew was also excellent.
