THE AIR: Hot-air balloons overhead

The Chester County Balloon Festival was held at New Garden Flying Field this past weekend, and as I was heading east on Street Road toward Willowdale early Sunday morning it was very cool to see so many of the colorful hot-air balloons drifting along up in the air. Chase vehicles seemed to make up the majority of the traffic on the road. Later in the day local people were posting on social media photographs of the balloons floating above their neighborhoods.
Linda, who lives in the Traditions at Longwood development in East Marlborough, sent me this photograph, saying, "My husband was surprised while walking the dog to come upon a hot air balloon on our street."
