I have been looking for the perfect bottle tree for my yard. I found this one at the Flower Festival at Crystal Springs, MS last week. The man in the background did not come with it!, neither did the bottles. I will wait until spring to find the perfect spot in my yard for it. Until then I will be busy drinking wine in just the perfect bottles for my new bottle tree. CHEERS!!!!

Cool weather makes me think Chocolate! I am going out of town Friday night and I was trying to get ahead for Sunday dinner. I looked over my recipes and found this great trifle dish "Death by Chocolate"! It is actually lowfat! Try it sometime.

Mix dry devil's food cake mix with 1 can of pumpkin and 1/4 c. of water for 2 minutes. Spread in a 13 by 9 pan that has been greased and floured. Bake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees and cool. Prepare 1 large box of instant chocolate pudding with 4 cups of milk. Layer crumbled cake, pudding, lowfat cool whip and repeat ending with cool whip on top. Orange sprinkles would be good for Halloween. Chill and enjoy! I made my cake and froze it so I can put the trifle together on Saturday night.
