Today I got a phone call from our neighbor, telling us that there were some balloons flying over the house. We grabbed our cameras and headed out the door, just in time to see a strange-looking yellow balloon. It resembled an upside-down pyramid. There was a couple of normal ones that had already passed overhead, and more followed the upside-down pyramid.
There were brightly-colored ones and one or two black ones with some colored sections. There were none of the real fancy ones like you'd see at Albuquerque's balloon fiesta – except the one that looked like an upside-down pyramid. Even so, it was a good showing for Amarillo. I've enjoyed it so far. I don't know if we're going to get out to the canyon in the morning or not, since the winds they are forecasting may be a bit too much for a launch.

I forgot to mention that one of our "boys" (cat/dog named Bat) brought us a little present. I came up to the door with him on my heels, and I noticed something sticking out of his mouth. Before I opened the door for us to go in, I made sure what it was. It kinda looked like a mouse tail. Ya know what? There was a mouse attached to it - still alive and unhurt! Bat put him on the porch at the door, and looked so proud! The mouse tried to run away but he was caught again before he got 12" away. A couple rounds of catch-and-release, I gave him a bunch of "atta boy's" and told him he'd have to keep his toys outside. He conceded and let me go inside alone. Bat took his "toy" away while seeming a little disappointed that he couldn't bring it in the house. He's such a good boy! We've been feeding him for so long, and I guess he figured he'd return the favor and bring us some food. Didn't have the heart to tell him that we prefer to get all of our fresh meat from the store. What a nice boy!
