Since I'm still recovering from Friday's market (thank you, chronic illness 🤧), please enjoy a video from Balloon Fiesta 2025. And excuse the ending lol 😜. My maternal unit missed the memo about no talkie during video recordings 😅.

A hot air balloon that's designed to be a cute doggo wearing a pink bow and collar. It's drifting just above the tree line.
A beautiful multicolored balloon drifting across a stormy sky. There are trees to the left and below it.
A hot air balloon drifting across a cloudy sky; it's primarily black with horizontal yellow, pink, and green stripes.
An adorable special shape hot air balloon in the shape of a smiling dinosaur. it's mainly aqua with blue spots and yellow back and tail spikes.
Since today was a bust thanks to the weather, please enjoy a few more photos that I took yesterday 😝.

A hot air balloon flying overhead. It's shades of yellow, orange, and red with a triangular basket. The burner is firing. In the distance, in the top right corner and even farther up, is another balloon that appears to be rainbow-esque with dark vertical stripes.
Finally! A day where the weather cooperated and sent the balloons our way! 🤩🙌💃

Me working to put my balloon the right way on the ground as it was backwards over the basket
A bystander caught me hard at work deflating the balloon. It’s not supposed to go that way, we had a wind shift and it was definitely work to make it right!

A photo I took of a hot air balloon flying over my property circa AIBF 2012. The balloon is hunter green with centered horizontal stripes in shades of red, orange, yellow, and white. The burner is being used, and a flame can be seen above the basket.
FYI, there is a very good chance that this entire week will be spent by me spamming y'all with posts and pics from Balloon Fiesta. I regret nothing 🫡😂.
P.S. If you're posting too, don't forget to use #aibf or #aibf2025 to be included in the AIBF feed 😉!
