The other day I was absently walking past the side door of my house when a Thing bobbed at its window, and scared the knitting needles straight out of my hands.
A... birthday balloon?
I have no idea whose birthday warranted its arrival in the great outdoors, but it was caught for the longest time in the air currents swirling through my driveway.
Of course, I had to take pictures.
Once I knew it wasn't a threat (though now that I think of it, anything rushing more birthdays at a person could well be considered as such) I found it pretty endearing.
And then it moved on.
Oh! and while I have you here:
look, some knitting. (I'm onto the toes now, for both socks. go mary go.)
And also: pretty cherry blossoms, courtesy of Hello Sandwich. We're weeks away from cherry blossoms where I live, but Hello Sandwich lives in Japan. Lucky girl.
And now: off I go. Hope you have a lovely day without any scary Birthday monsters in it, and I'll see you tomorrow!

A balloon summoned, I wold guess, by intuition of a matching sock.
I think the socks match the balloon, Mary!
I did have a balloon land in my yard many years ago...and it had a $10 bill neatly tied to the string. I felt badly keeping it, as I thought it must have escaped from some poor kid at the fair. But I did keep it, since I had no way of finding its owner.
