Scarecrow
This guy’s been here for a couple of years, so it’s not a Halloween thing. Any garden is long gone.
“Just me and my Bud Light.”

Rainy Days
We’ve had several nights and mornings of rain — unusual for Las Cruces and for this time of year. Cloudy most of the day, the Organs cleared in about 20 minutes this afternoon.

St. Genevieve’s Church
The first St. Genevieve’s Church was built in 1859. In 1886, the church’s adobe structure was replaced by a brick cathedral, which was fronted by two 44-foot bell towers.
In 1967, this structure was demolished and a new church built at a new location — a huge historical loss.
In 1998, a monument to the old cathedral was constructed at the church’s original location.
Here’s a drawing of the old church from the monument’s plaque:
