i like beer

For me, a cold beer on a hot summer afternoon, as cliche as it may sound, is more refreshing than a glass of lemonade or a dip in the pool. But it has to be a good brew, and it has to come in a glass bottle. The other day Jason came home with a case of a variety of select northern brews:

and I had a summer ale that was particularly tasty:

And I appreciate these bottles not only for the yumminess they host inside but also for the artwork they boast outside:

 And he brought me roses, which he cut himself from the bushes at his work:

Today, though, is a rainy day in central Minnesota, so I'm not craving a beer but lots of coffee, and sorry, I don't have a picture to go with that one.

And to anyone who's been reading my posts, thanks for sticking around even though I haven't had much time to return the kindness....
