Hot Air

We have had some gorgeous weather here these past couple of weeks & I have enjoyed having the furnace turned off, the windows open & cool evenings on the patio. 

Tonight I was in the bedroom folding laundry enjoying the cool breeze coming through the window when I heard a strange noise coming from outside. Shane ran upstairs & asked me "Do you hear that? What in the heck is that?" I listened more closely for a minute & instantly recognized the sound of propane burners!

Hot air balloons!!

We ran outside & sure enough right above our house we saw this:

2 hot air balloons floating by & a few minutes later a 3rd balloon came flying by. They were so close that the passengers in the baskets were waving at us saying hello & we could clearly understand what they were saying.

They ended up landing in our subdivision in a few empty lots just 2 blocks away.

I LOVE hot air balloons - they are just so peaceful to watch floating in the sky. Me & my friend Jill actually purchased tickets to go up on a hot air balloon ride which we will be doing next month. Looking SO very forward to that & sharing my experience & pics with you all.
