Isn’t this rain awesome? To say it was desperately needed is an under statement. I noticed when traveling last week that some ponds are starting to refill! That’s a good sight to see. As is all the water puddles still standing.
What state capital has the highest altitude?
Hello to all in area nursing and assisted living facilities. Hello also to all in area hospitals and rehab centers.

The annual “Trunk or Treat” was successful Saturday night. Well, kind of, there weren’t but about eight “Trunks” set up to pass out candy. I think many didn’t get out because of the weather, not knowing it had been moved to the gym.
There was no shortage of kids dressed in everything from Ariel, the Little Mermaid to Yoda. My apologies to those who didn’t make it because of the weather. I should have said in case of inclement weather it would be moved to the gym. I know not everyone has Facebook and saw that post.
Halloween has now passed and the next thing we have to watch for is election day. This is something we need to take seriously, especially the local elections!!
We have three openings on the City Council and four on the ballot with two write-in candidates. Each individual wants to do what’s best for our city and each has their own idea of what’s best.
I urge you to do your civic duty and get out and vote next Tuesday, November 7.
Answer: Santa Fe, New Mexico. Situated in the heart of New Mexico, Santa Fe sits at an impressive breathtaking elevation of over 7,000 feet. Santa Fe is often overshadowed by Denver, known as the “Mile-High City” which sits at 5,280 feet for a difference of 1,720 feet.
That’s quite a difference. There’s 344 feet difference between Toronto and El Dorado. May not seem like much, but try riding a bicycle between here and there! I hope you brought all your plants in that needed to be. Sunday night got pretty cold.
