The coyote (not the same one pictured above) will be out and about hunting for eggs this Saturday in La Entrada Park. Will he run across a rabbit? In Corrales? Oh yeah. Remember: 10 AM for the hunt. The eggs could be discovered quickly, so don't be late. The weather is expected to be partly cloudy, with temperatures in the upper 50's to low 60's https://www.wunderground.com/hourly/us/nm/corrales/87048/date/2022-04-16
Sunday, April 24, 2022 from 9AM until noon marks the beginning of the Grower’s Market regular growing season. It's hard to say what kinds of crops we will see since water is scarce and temperatures have been up and down. Please make the trip to support our local farmers and stock up on local produce. Green leafy vegetables will probably be in abundance as well as some starts for your garden. Ask the vendors when and what to plant, and if protection is needed.
