    Living out in the country has its moments, like when the MetLife blimp flies over.

    We called the neighbors, who were out in their front yard looking at the blimp passing.
    We may not have a lot of excitement, but when we do, it's a doozey!

    marlingardener, That is very cool. When I was a child they scared the death out of me. I would cry and shake. Now I they are one of the coolest things around.

    We live just a few miles from the goodyear blimp docked in Akron...needless to say, I wouldn't have thought about those who don't see one regularly to think it was special, since we see them regularly. Next time I will photograph it for you.

    Cheryl, if you look at the blimp's nose, you'll see Snoopy. If he was up there, I don't know who was driving the thing!
