Curiously Intertwined

What dog doesn't like to sit on a quilt during show-and-tell?

The raccoons have figured out how to open the metal trash container

which contains the bird seed.

I have now wedged a very large rock

from another part of our yard under the handle.

Let's see how long it takes for them to figure this one out.

Quiet.

Done. Not perfect.

The stockinette stitch sides want to naturally roll.

I should probably block it.

I know I won't.

As you know by now, if you have been reading my blog for a while,

I love hot air balloons.

To kick off the beginning of the State Fair,

the traditional Giant Hot Air Balloon Race took place this morning.

I had not intended to go chase the balloons this year,

but rather was going to just wait to see if they came near my house

and get some pictures overhead if they did.

As luck would have it,

they did come very near and Fireball alerted me of such activity.

I did see a glimpse of one balloon from my driveway

but it disappeared behind the trees

so I hopped into the car, camera in hand,

and drove in the direction I knew they were heading.

Almost right away

I found several of the balloons landing in a clearing behind the grocery store.

Since I tend to post the overhead shots frequently,

I thought I would go with the deflating process for today's picture.

I hope you are not tired of birds yet.

Here he was showing me a little dance he made up.
