A Good Morning Surprise!

This morning I let the dog outside to go do her business and, quickly after, heard her barking and scrambling as fast as she could to get back up onto the porch and to come inside. I thought she was being silly and barking at some workers who were working on the house behind us. I took her back outside but she wouldn't budge off the porch. Then I heard the sound that caused me to look up into the sky. There, hovering really close to my neighbor's house was a hot air balloon!

(Oh, and there's another view of my weedy lot!)

That's not something you see every day!
