Large garden spider? Ack! I hope that he keeps aphids at bay, too! Hmm.. Kate and Pat both have gardens, but there may be somebody at the party who needs some herbs. If I'm going to host a party, I need to clear the path to the front door. The holly is being enthusiastic this year, too. Based upon feedback so far, it looks like the afternoon of Saturday October 11 might be the best. That is also far enough ahead that everybody interested can calendar it. :) Is that an OK day for most of you? Carolly
