I have an air tag on my dog's collar now. Would have worked great if it was on when I let her out in the middle of the night in a storm as she needed to go. When she didn't come right back I went to investigate and our gate was open. Weird. It had been locked. But then I noticed my 16 y/o son's window open. Snuck out to see his GF. Busted! finally found my dog the next morning, on our doorstep, soaked, limping after a night of hunting I guess. Needless to say I wasn't happy. He doesn't have a phone or a girlfriend anymore. But the AirTag works great! If my dog decides to take herself for a walk. Maybe I'll get one form son's backpack...

I highly recommend them.

Incredibly beautiful! I’ve watched this on “Travels in Europe” on Prime series also. And rich in history as well.

Funny that you posted this, a hot air balloon landed in my oldest son’s back yard yesterday morning. He & his wife live on a pond but plenty of open space there to land. The Chase van was parked on the street near there so it was planned. 2 hot air balloon companies operate in our area so if you don’t mind getting up before the crack of dawn you can schedule a ride. We can often see them when the weather conditions are right between 7-9 am. On my bucket list!

Definitely take a ride! The most striking thing for many is how quiet it is as you are moving with the wind so the relative air Is still and you can hear people calling and dogs barking hundreds of feet below.

DID YOU KNOW most "ANNUALS" become "PERENNIALS" in warmer grow zones?

Lots of folks think those (waste of money) annual FLOWERS that you have to re-buy every Spring are genetically engineered to be single use or can't spawn.

The only difference is whether they are hardy enough to survive your winter or not. This is why flowers sold as annuals up north are packaged as perennials in Florida.

I learned this from "The Plant Whisperer" at Home Depot today...
