It's definitely fall now. Cottonwoods are changing and you can see the yellow of the aspens up on Sandia. It's cool and breezy and basically just gorgeous! I love this time of year and it makes me crave apple cider and all things pumpkin! I've even heard one or two early sandhill cranes heading this way - can't wait for them to arrive in the next few weeks!
I made pumpkin ravioli with browned butter, toasted pecans, and sage the other day! Oh my - go get the ravioli at Trader Joe's now - SO GOOD!
And... I made DONUTS! My friend Darcy posted a recipe on her blog and I have been wanting to make them for a few weeks. Finally got around to it this a.m. They're so pretty!
Somehow, we found time to make a scarecrow and decorate for fall. We used Bob Villa's site for instructions - pretty easy. Just stuff some panty hose with newspaper and dress up/decorate your scarecrow. E- named ours Fiyero (from "Wicked' - of course!). He's so cute.
I forgot to post photos from Balloon Fiesta. We skipped it this year, but saw plenty from our house. This photo shows why driving in ABQ can be hazardous during October. Seriously, I get so distracted with the balloons - good thing E- was driving this day:)
The wildlife continues to surprise us in our backyard. We found this cool guy the other day...
Peek-a-Boo - can you find him?
And - look what I won!
They pulled my name from the raffle I entered at the Wilderness Celebration. $140 North Face Shoes! I was pretty excited:)
This week is much calmer than last - thankfully. I did calculate the miles driven in 7 days though... 365! Seems like a lot right? Good thing I love my minivan!
Enjoy the season and go make something pumpkinish!
