Will do, Rita!
Today's pic was taken a couple of years ago, but is representative of what I can expect to see soon: bunches of ripe elderberries. Elderberry bushes frequently appear in various places on my property - such as next to the barn, in a flowerbed, around the edges of the woodland - but most only last about 5 years before they start dying back. I'm pretty sure the elder borer beetle is to blame for the losses.
