Enjoying spring

This morning I took Anika for a walk while Mary ran some errands, by the time we got home she was almost asleep. Her head was hanging down (I was using the baby Bjorn carrying her around on my chest), and her eyes were drooping. Today she was in rare form, you either got one her biggest brightest smiles, or you got the raspberries, there was no in between.

Amazing how everything in spring just pops. I was working in the garage today and was just flooded with sounds of spring: birds chirping, kids playing and dogs barking. I could smell the grills getting fired up later in the afternoon as well. So as I am typing this, I am sitting on the deck drinking a Mojo and heating up our grill. Beer tastes better in the spring and summer. Being outside drinking a beer and grilling, I can't help but get excited for thursdays music in Mears park, Grand Ol' Day and other outdoor festivities.

It is time to put the burgers on the grill, so I am out of here.

Beer tastes better in the fall. That's why so many people celebrate Oktoberfest.

Beer does taste good in fall, but the reason everyone celebrates Oktoberfest is because they know it will be the last of the outdoor beer drinking until spring

Beer can certainly be enjoyed outside when there's snow on the ground. I've enjoyed beer outside with snow for hours at Bockfest. As much as in the fall or spring.
