There was huffing outside my home office window. Surely not a bear. My common first thought after having seen one. The sound got louder, but I couldn't identify it. Then it dawned on me. A hot air balloon. They glide by our home often and sometimes the sound of the burners is clear.
I ran outside and this is what I saw. A balloon had come down next to our home.

The pilot explained that the wind had shifted and the street looked like a safe place to land. His riders, a young couple celebrating their first anniversary, thought it all very exciting.
Soon the neighborhood arrived and all of us pulled on the ropes to hold the balloon down until the carrier truck arrived. Only later did we realize that not one of us wore a mask.
There's nothing like an unexpected visitor to brighten the morning sun!
