Pumpkin season is upon us, even if the temperatures haven’t caught up with that idea yet. I saw these at Whole Foods Market (Lamar store, Austin).

Hatch Chile Season
It’s that time of year: Hatch Chile Season. It’s pretty big deal for a couple of weeks. Fresh, roasted Hatch chiles. Buy them roasted or roast your own. Or buy practically anything flavored with Hatch chiles.
Look closely and you can see the flames

Boxes and boxes of Hatch chile peppers to roast
Or buy a Hatch chile plant and roast your own
And the question is not, “What Hatch chile items can you buy?” but “What doesn’t have Hatch chiles in them?” Answer: Not much. I only photographed some of the items.

In Progress
I’m guessing this was some in-progress project. Or, maybe it’s a completed work of art.

Story #25 for Story A Day Challenge May 2016
Ice Cream with Sprinkles
“Ice cream with sprinkles!” Jasper turned his head as his mother carried him down the sidewalk past the Magnolia trees.
“Jasper, those are flowers, not ice cream with sprinkles. Magnolia flowers. Mag-no-lia. Can you say Mag-no-lia? Here,” she said, walking across the grass. She hoisted Jasper up a little higher. “Smell them. Don’t they smell good?”
He leaned over, touching his nose to the white petals.
“Careful,” Angie cautioned, “there might be bees. Bees take the pollen and make honey.”
Before Angie could stop him, Jasper plucked a petal and started eating it. “Ice cream with sprinkles!” Jasper happily announced.
