This morning was rainy and beautiful. We walked around Ward Lake. Then the kids cut loose and played in the grass. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: xx-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 9px;"><br />

A time of frenzied artists, delicious crepes, kids with blue cotton candy overloads, music by overeager teenagers and beer drinking. All of this to celebrates our abundance of a lovely little berry. I am one of those frenzied artists and when the booth is tucked away I celebrate the abundance with another Alaskan speciality: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alaskan Amber.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
