The gentle wind currents brought many hot air balloons our way yesterday, the 2nd day of the Balloon Fiesta! It is exhilarating when they come over the treetops, firing their propane burners which make that quintessential hot air balloon sound! We will go to the balloon field next weekend, weather permitting; as for yesterday? Well, it really doesn't get any better than that. Coffee and pumpkin muffins just out of the oven....robes and slippers. We felt very happy. Fred, it turns out, is a particularly great little balloon watcher! Abby's walnut tree was visited by the teddy bear balloon! Piper's prairie-fire crabapple was graced by the zig zaggy orange one! (Ben's little piñon tree is still too short for the balloons to find.) And for today - Monday? Well, now that the morning balloons have passed (there were only five right over our house today), Fred and I have holes to dig and daffodils, tulips, and crocus to plant!
