October is Harvest and Balloon Watching Season

It's fall.  That means it's time to get ready for winter out here on the ranch.  I have put up three 40 pound sacks of green chili, have a beef in the freezer and am in the process of canning peaches and making jelly.  This is definitely my favorite time of the year.

It's also time for the 38th annual Albuquerque Balloon Fiestival.  If you can arrainge to be in Albuquerque from the 1st Saturday through the 2nd Sunday, you will be in for a treat.  The skies just fill with hot air balloons.  Around 600 different balloons take off and float around the city.  It is literally the most photographed event of the year!
