I Love the fall — there are so many great things to do, like balloon shows, book awards, and loads of other things!
Show at Erna Ferguson Library
Paul Zeigler’s photo show at the Erna Ferguson Library is so appropriate for October. It is balloon photos. But not the usual balloon photos. They have been colored and manipulated to be not-the-usual. There are eleven photos on a wall right in the center of the Library. Easy to look at and FREE! The images are fun, fantasy, and great gifts. They are a bit of Albuquerque!
The Erna Ferguson Library is located on San Mateo just south of the light at Montgomery. You can find where to turn because of the fantastic silver sculpture on the median of San Mateo. There is another similar sculpture at the entrance of the Library. They are A+ in my mind – look at them too!

FALL!!!!!!
I love fall. It is a time that the temperature gets to be more human. I hate feeling HOT! It is a time where we get into the Balloon Fiesta excitement. The trees turn color and I love it. And I get teasers for the holidays.
We start taking care of those chores and jobs that need to be done: oil change, firewood, new glasses, dentist, close pool, close swamps, doctor’s appointment, flu shot, put away the summer clothes and get the heavier clothes out, Halloween decorations, candy, and start to think about Christmas presents! We also buy to fruits of the growing season - pumpkins, chile, apples, fall vegetables, and start baking. People with kids have football games, conferences, school events, and so much more. It is so busy!
What I don’t like about fall is buying cider in what was a gallon last year but this year is 89 oz. for the same price. Rip-off! Of course the price for everything is going up for celebrating the holidays!
Congrats!!!!!!
