Halloween with a Hiccup

I had Halloween plans - Big plans, to clean, cook, decorate inside and out until a huge hiccup hit. The mini chocolate cup cakes were baked and ready to decorate (and ready for their closeup Mr. DeMill)

The camera was fired up and set on Aperture mode (trying for Bokeh) and yes, I got it !! - then just as things were progressing well.....

The big Nor'easter Snot storm of 2011 hit - Wet, hideous slop that bent trees, broke limbs, took down power lines and wreaked havoc all over the north east. Needless to say it has stalled my plans. I hope to finish (or start) decorating today and finish the cupcakes and post more tomorrow. Our festivities we will not be stopped! Wish me luck ('they' say it may take a week to restore power to all - freezing temps - not fun!)
