New Belgium Spring Blonde (with bicycles on the label!!!!!)

Last weekend I asked Chris to look for a nice spring ale at the beer store.  Something to have on hand for spontaneous spring celebrations.  Thank goodness he came home with this. 

If he hadn't what would I have toasted with when I saw this tonight?  The cherry blossom show has officially started.  Each night for the next week or so it will get better and better and better, as the blossoms turn from white to the palest of pinks.

Spring cherry blossoms + New Belgium Spring Blonde (with bicycles on the label!!!!!) = a good pairing.    The time it takes to drink one beer is the perfect amount of time to sit on the porch and stare in wonder. 

P.S.  It was exactly one year ago that the cherry blossoms started last year too.  See below.  I admit it.  I am obsessed with the cherry blossoms and am seeking help to deal with it.

Oh my but this takes me away! Our granddaughter was born in Belgium. The beer is never ending! Funnily enough, my son-in-law taped 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' (Wes Anderson) for me, and I watched it on my computer in the loft of an old converted monastery in Leuven where I was staying. The cherry blossoms are magnificent and just like a new born babe, made even more magnificent with Belgian Ale :)

Enjoy the view, the beer and everything in-between...simple pleasures are the best kind of indulgence, they are so readily available, don't bother seeking 'help'for there is no cure, just 'repeat' as needed. ;)

I think that the Belgian Blond (with bicycles) is exactly the right help. At a former house we had a weeping cherry. The ethereal loveliness of it was stunning. It trailed to the ground and swayed in the breeze, the softest pink you can dream. Keep looking and have a look for me.

I hope you have enough beer to take us thru all stages of cherry blossom development. I'd give anything to be able to have one of these trees here, but I don't believe it would do well in the intense heat of summer and horrible alkaline soil. I'll get my fix from watching your tree in bloom.

So was the beer delicious????

Cherry blossoms = another equally acceptable obsession if you ask me! Hope that the beer is lovely!! xx
