We had a preview of the upcoming Balloon Fiesta that starts Saturday. This morning, Tuesday, nine Rainbow Ryders balloons took off from the balloon field and flew over our house. Rainbow Ryders is the only company authorized to take paying passengers from the balloon field during the Fiesta. Betty and I speculated that they were full while more wanted a ride, so they set this up for those who couldn’t get a ride during the Fiesta.

Yesterday, Friday morning, we woke to a very rare day for us – Fog! We get a foggy morning maybe once a year. It came from a rain last night of about a quarter of an inch. As the sun came up, it went away fairly quick.
