Change of Season

I love fall!  I know it's not 'officially' here until next week, but the signs are creeping into our lives here in NM already.  The mornings and evenings are cool and crisp, the geese honk by in morning, the sunrises and sunsets are more vibrant (why is that?),  balloons fly in the sky, and the chiles are roasting on nearly every corner!  Yep, that's what fall is in NM - chile time!  The smell - mmmmm.  Something you have to experience to understand.  We got a 40# a couple weeks ago and bagged 'em up to use for the year.  So good and I swear they ward off colds and flus... seriously (touch wood) we can't remember the last cold we had;)

I made a Green Chile, Bacon, and Potato soup - mmmm.  Will try to post the recipe soon!

School is going well thus far (week 3).  M- is enjoying his physical science class the most and has already finished reading 2 books off his booklist!  E- ecstatic about her rhetoric class and European history.  I am feeling extra smart as I spent 5  hours on physics in the last two days and not only figured it out, but taught E- as well:)!  We must get smarter with age as I never figured physics out in high school!

Balloon Fiesta is in a couple weeks - we are staying home this year, but hope to see some from the house!  This guy must have been prepping... gotta love this scene (from our bedroom porch) when you wake up in the morning!

Hubby and I head out in about a week for our relaxing get away!  Super excited - life has been hectic and stress filled for him at work and we are both in need of some downtime.  Thankful for parents to stay with the kiddos and hold down the fort - hope they can figure out the physics!  

Enjoy the weekend and this sunset!
