The view...

I just ran some garbage out to the can before the truck came...and when I turned around I saw this:







It's not unusual at all to see hot air balloons here -- in fact, when I was younger we lived right next to a huge expanse of fields and people would launch and land their balloons in those fields all the time. And for the last few years, the kids and I saw them almost every morning (when weather allowed) as we were driving in to town for school. But it doesn't matter how many times I see them, I always have to watch and think 'wow!'

I don't think I'd ever want to actually go UP in one, but dang, they look awesome, don't they?!?
