I climbed out on my roof for blue. [View all]

I rolled about the very hot rooftop on my back. I got kisses from my dogs while I rolled about the grass. All for the color blue.

I think I'll save these for another time. I used royal blue and light blue balloons.

One helper remained inside the window tossing out balloons while I was on the roof. I only went as far as the lower roof. I wasn't that determined. My other helper (a young neighbor) had fun chasing down the balloons that dropped - and popping them. Because blowing them up was such fun! (Not)
