Too Close For Comfort!!

The pictures below tell the tale of a hot air balloon that came extremely close to our house. The balloon was so close to the ground that DW could hear the people talking, see them waving to those on the ground and hear the "whoosh" as the pilot turned on the burner. Our dog Muncie, did NOT appreciate the balloon so close and barked at it while Phoebe, "the Princess", did not consider it important enough to acknowledge.



We see these hot air balloons at least 3 times per week from our back patio, but have never seen them so close to our house.
We can just imagine the view that those inside the gondola get while enjoying the ride! Maybe Santa made an early delivery?
