While checking out the grasses, of course I came across clover. It is a legume and not a grass. Well now, that is another difference I'm learning about the world I walk about in.
And that ends my knowledge list of grasses right now.
The rain and low clouds prevented them on Friday, the winds prevented them on Saturday. However there were vendors and other things going on at the Fairgrounds and it was cheap to get in. $5 for the whole weekend.
I went with my neighbors on Saturday to walk around and get ice cream. I decided then that I'd go back on Sunday morning. After all, I am an early riser so the launch time of 6am wouldn't bother me in the least.
15 seconds of the Fairground and a few liftoffs...
The colors of balloons are always so very cheerful. I could just dive into their colors. If I could have a room or house painted all bright colors I would. It isn't practical, but I just love colorful things.
I headed home after the last one launched. I could see a line of cars turning off on a county road to try and follow the balloons. I just went my normal route. According to the light NNW wind the balloons would drift over my township across the ridge tops.
I was right, they did drift that way and I was able to pull over and take a few 'snaps'.
It was pretty awesome to experience. What a great way to end June.
