Day has dawned for Zozobra--soon all the gloom of the city of Santa Fe will be burned along with him....
We are busy preparing for our annual Zozobra party....
Pattie and Kelly are up from Albuquerque with lots of goodies for the party--like enchiladas, glow jewelry and forty-eight pork chops cooked in green chile......

They also bought a special surprise for me!
The excitement at the recognition of what the present really is......
A beautiful coral squash blossom necklace! What a thrill!!
Plus silky ponchos for fiestas....
Here Frannie poses as a Spanish peasant....

This is more fun than Christmas!
Donna arrives bearing more goodies for the party....
Frannie checks in on Zozobra......
The first of the guests arrive.....
And dig in--the party is about to begin!
