The smell of roasting green chile…
Visits to Wagner’s orchard for champagne apples…
The short, bursting roar of a hot air balloon as it glides overhead…
The soft rustle of the yellow aspen leaves…
Crisp mornings and balmy afternoons…
Mountains always at my back…
…I miss autumn in New Mexico so much sometimes I feel it as an ache in my stomach.
Come visit us! We’ll feed you chile and the view of the balloons from our house is amazing.
OR, even better, MOVE BACK!!!

I’m with her! I’m with her! Just get back here!
Believe me, I know that ache - very well. And I also know that the solution is just to be here. If it makes you feel any better, New Mexico misses you too. 
I truly feel your pain…thanks for letting me talk to you about it.
