October is almost over and I’ve barely blogged. zoinks! Here’s a photOctoberblog:
Last weekend we stopped at a roadside pumpkin patch & corn field in Long Island on the way home from visiting Michael’s brother Phil & Heather. There was a Corn Maze there. An actual scary corn maze. I joked that we should enter the corn maze, and bubby pulled over because he wanted me to confront my lifelong “Children of the Corn” fears. Then we saw that it was $7 to enter the maze. If I wanted to pay $7 to die, I’d eat 2 packs of Oscar Mayer bacon. Instead we strolled the country haymarket, picked up phallic gourds and squash, and had cider.
We had a sleepover at Phil & Heathers with their kitties. Here’s new kitty Sasha, a near-dead ringer for my own kitty, Molli.
So cute and playful! My new niece-kitty.
My kiddies: Molli (we call her Kiddoo) & Wolli (we call him Wuzzy). I don’t know why we bothered naming them. Their names don’t stick.
A visit last week with my gays (Bennifer, Aaron, Keith) to Max Brenner Chocolate shop produced these decadent results: Banana Hazelnut crepe with vanilla ice cream; and Banana Bread with an awaiting vial of chocolate syrup.
Classic NY Cheesecake with raspberry puree (in that vial). Scrumptdiddlyumptious!
Finally, as the weather turns to frost, I’m faced with dismantling my once-gorgeous balcony garden. I realized I never posted pics of my award-winning balcony-scape from this spring & summer.
Instead of the usual geraniums and petunias, I went with succulent Gerber Daisies.
I purchased grown Gerber Daisy plants and repotted them. They lasted from May thru September and I’ve been so happy with their outdoor performance. They withstand direct sun for the whole day, and their vibrant colors can be seen from blocks away.
GORG!
