And after...

Before...

We have had a lot of stormy weather lately. Just had to post this picture of our umbrella. Doesn't it just drive you nuts when it turns inside-out? I made weights that I like to call umbrella earrings and they really work.

Hot-Air Balloons

Today there are going to be a whole bunch of hot-air balloons blowing around in the breeze.  It's so awesome seeing them overhead.  They get pretty low at times.  So many colors and so silent.  We've taken a hot-air balloon ride and the light airy feel and the quietness is surreal.  Something everyone should try at least once.

This photo shows one of my newest table cloth weights (I also call them "umbrella earrings").  They really work.  Check it out in my photos.
