We Need a Pumpkin.

When can we go to the Pumpkin Patch?

We are Going to Miss Halloween!    Please Can We Get a Pumpkin?

Yes.  Today.   Wagner Farms.   Over 100 Years Old.  In Corrales, New Mexico.

 The Breathtaking Colors of Fall in New Mexico.

The Red of Apples and Chile Ristras.

The Green of Big Jim Chile.

The Yellow of the Cottonwoods.

The Warm Brown of a Quarter Horse.

The Pink of Cherry Lemonade.

The Blue of the Sky with Cloud Patterns on the Mountain.

The Perfect Orange of Pumpkins.

Oh, Yes.  Lots and Lots of Pumpkins.

The Smells of Fall in New Mexico.

Roasting Chile.

Clean and Earthy aromas swirl from ancient metal roasters.

Spinning.  Intoxicating.

The Tastes of Fall in New Mexico.

Apples hold tight to the Trees.  Waiting for the pickers.  Sticky Sweet Juice.

Crunchy.  Tart and Tangy.

The Sounds of Fall in New Mexico.

Music with a Ranchera Beat.

The Sights of Fall in New Mexico.

A Face-Painting Tiger.

A Thirst-Quenching Horse.

A Tractor-Pulling Hayride.

Under that Blue, Blue Sky.

In the Warm Sunshine.

Mama…We don’t Need a Pumpkin.  I love the Pumpkin Patch.  Magic.
