    I love the pepper shape of your Quadrille, Lynn, and the way it leads me along the hot pavement to the Chile Festival. I’d never heard of it and it’s something I want to look up!

    The poem has a nice pepper shape. The “green chili cheeseburger” sounds tasty.

    Is that where those Hatch peppers come from? I’ve heard of those. There’s a big Chili festival in Big Bend every year. Your town sounds like a friendly place to be

    Sounds like a great destination. I like how you start with ‘follow hot pavement’
