Tuesday Treasures

It has been such a busy summer , terrific weather with warm to hot temperatures , sometimes a tad too hot and definitely more than a tad too humid , did I mention that humidity and I are not friends , no we definitely do not like each other even a little bit. However all that set aside this summer could not have been better with visits from my DIL and my two oldest granddaughters and most recently a visit from two of my younger granddaughters and then in just a few days I will be off to visit my youngest granddaughter and youngest grandson . Since it has been a year and a half since I last seen them I am very excited about this visit .

 So what is my treasure for today , well my greatest treasure is my family and next to that is where I live so here is a photo taken from a hot air balloon which my dear crazy husband decided to go for a ride in the other evening . When he took the launch they had no idea where the wind would take them , nor where they would land but lo and behold they landed in the field right next to our house .

 Would you like to see a few more photos he took from the air , well if not it is time to leave now  :-) This next photo is of the launch , just as they left the ground.

.

 This one is of the East River as the bucket actually touched the water, the pilot did this on purpose  .Isn't that a fantastic photo though , I just love it! The next photo shows the river snaking its way through the East River Valley , so neat to see it from this perspective .

 My friend Arlene's farm from the air , just like a patchwork quilt huh   .

 Bill  said  he had a terrific time , said he would do it again in a heart beat but my feet will be firmly planted on the ground , thank you very much . I guess the landing was a little rough , but other than that it was smooth sailing .
 Hope you enjoyed the aerial photos of where I live , in the first photo you can see my house on the right hand side closest to the field , as you can see I have a pretty terrific view out my window.

I am linking up with Melody, so  be sure to visit  our wonderful hostess for Tuesdays Treasures at The House on the Side of the Hill   .to see who else has shared their treasures today .  There are two other treasures that arrived in my emailbox yesterday , I won two giveaways , one from Carrie  , as a surprise giveaway to her followers, I was so surprised and pleased with her generosity  and if you have never visited Carrie be sure to head on over here ,she does the most amazing work , you will be so inspired . Then I also received an email from Jenny of Elefantz telling me I am the winner of a six month subscription to her e-magazine in her most recent giveaway , I am thrilled about this as well, as Jenny is a talented designer and I will look forward to receiving this extra special gift each month for the next 6 months .
