Green Chiles are harvested in August and September. Our local Corrales farmers market, Wagners Farms, grow their Chiles South of Albuquerque. Betty and I went to the market last Tuesday, bought a sack of Chiles, and had them roasted.

This short video shows our Chile process each year. Unfortunately, we couldn’t capture the smell of roasting Chiles which is great.

We add Green Chiles to a lot of our foods, scrambled eggs, macaroni and cheese, enchilada casserole, Chile cheese toast, hamburgers, etc., etc. They are a New Mexico staple that we’ve grown to love.

The other afternoon when I was out with Jessie and Phoebe, I looked and there were these majestic thunderheads in three directions around us.

This is an act on Britain’s Got Talent. They’re from Russia and it’s amazing what they can do with their bodies.

Jessie has a friend staying with us for over two weeks. She’s a five-year old English Labrador named Phoebe. She’s sweet, playful and they love each other.

She’s also helping Jessie keep her girlish figure.
