sugared Fruit

Craft stores sell those fancy "sugared" looking fruits like pears and apples for Christmas decorations.
Ma Nature, as always, thought of it first. Freezing rain and sleet will crystalize on a frozen pumpkin and create the same object d'art. Alas, it  lasted only a day, all three pumpkins are now helping to fuel a yearling white-tail buck.  He had the cheek to step up on the front porch and help himself to a hearty and sweet meal.
