Here's my last photo of the balloons from last Thursday's sighting. I have a few more, but it's just more of the same. There is a somewhat local balloon fest, or race, or rally that takes place each year in our département (Loir et Cher) so I'm thinking that's what we saw. I suppose the covid pandemic shut it down for a while. I'm glad it's back.
There were many more balloons than these. If I remember, we stood and watched for about half an hour.
Meanwhile, our heat wave continues and is expected to keep on continuing for at least the next three days. I cut the south forty yesterday and it looks pretty good. Today I'm thinking I'll do the west forty, and then the north forty tomorrow. Another chore that needs to be added to the queue: power washing the deck.
This is so exciting. I’d be watching these from every angle all day long.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a local balloon group a couple of miles from the farm that used to traverse the fields, haven’t seen them for a few years of late. Always a pleasurable sight. We have the heat wave too 30 degrees plus, phew!

ReplyDeleteWhat a pity if it really was COVID that shut down the annual showing of the balloons. They look “socially distanced” to me!
