D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

We shopped a day early so the housemate could go play some card game all day today. So we also walked the dog together through the park, where someone was cooking with large amounts of smoke at one of the picnic areas, in association with a child's party. A gold metallic balloon was up in one of the oak trees above, peeping out between the leaves: it looked like a snake, but some googling suggests it's a letter S or a number 2. Still there today, with another one tethered to a picnic table; I didn't get a good look at either, the dog was chasing a scent.
