Weekend Recap

Friday

Ale baked this amazing, amazing fruit tart from scratch (as in, made the crust and all) and it came out delicious- more delicious than most store bought tarts I've tried in my day. What an awesome way to celebrate the end of the work week!

Saturday

In Milwaukee, we love us a good rendition of "Roll out the Barrel." Here, the bartenders and last few customers at Halliday's bar on Farwell get into the spirit and polka their way through the song just as the bar closed for the night.

Sunday
It's only August here, but the weather has sort of given up on us- and apparently, so have the trees! This one has already waved the theoretical white flag and started turning red for the fall.

Summerfest- Keepin' it classy

On this last day of Summerfest, I figured it would apropos to put up another picture from this year's Fest of one Milwaukeean who's definitely keeping it classy Midwestern style by rocking his own, home-made beer hat. He looks like he's thoroughly enjoying his own ingeniousness, and his beer buzz.

Picnic Weather

These people dining al fresco at the Alterra by Lake Michigan reminded me that it's finally prime picnicing season...I can't wait! =
