full of hot air


            A party planned in the park to watch the hot air balloons light up the night sky.
  the blustery wind made this observation unsuccessful- but the star-gazing 
                                             made up for any sadness.


                               sleep through the night & dream
                                                                              of floating~
                                         {in a hot air balloon someday}


      arise at dawn to complete chores..
                         little brother awakes to play with kittens.
                           then to the top of the hill we go to
           scan the northern horizon through the pale pink mist-
                                  & we SEE!  objects floating softly through the sky.
   how magical they seem..we do not stay atop the hill for long.


                   Home we rush to change into non-farm clothes.
                   I give wee one's hair a douse of water and a quick comb.
                into the silver car we climb and down the road we go-!
       many times we stop to stare above and around us_ what a sight!


                                  hot air balloons~
             the morning feels just right for coffee, so we stop and a pumpkin spice latte


                                goes down with ease and comfort.


                          the display of hot air
                    was so glorious that we went again for the sunset show              
    watched the air balloons slowly rise up into the sunset and fly away..

quick departure



    Today my good friend Shawn asked me if I would like to come with him to Enderby, British Columbia tomorrow.. I considered this option and said yes. So I drive to Calgary alone tomorrow to meet him. I park my car and we journey on together. Then Monday evening I fly out of Kelowna at 8:30 pm and arrive in Calgary at 10:25 then drive back home alone~ so now if you wonder where I AM, you know! (approximately)
