No problem…never know when we get blown off course!

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!

I’ve been to Hatch…but not during festival. Gotta go back!

It’s unique!

The poem has a nice pepper shape. The “green chili cheeseburger” sounds tasty.
Jun 20, 2017 @ 06:42:05
Glad you noticed the shape 🙂

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
Jun 20, 2017 @ 06:42:32
I wanna go back…

I think Kansas is gone bye bye. Even Toto is in shock

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