Going down to Madison today to have lunch with daughter and get some erranding in. M/T have a list for Trader Joe's and I need to restock string cheese. Food: 7:55 am Raspberry croissant, 105 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Fri 29 May

Pleasant weather continues, with a feel of summer. Might go to Taylor's bookstore this noon to meet a gubenatorial candidate. Food: 7:50 am 72 g cinnamon roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Thurs 28 May

They snuck us in for an oil change later this morning, which is good because we're about 2000 miles over the recommendation. Will be busy with Bootstrap at 1 and an OBT board meeting at 5, but we have leftover WheelHouse pizza for dinner so no problem. Food: 7:50 am 92 g cinnamon roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Wed 27 May

Feels like summer. Finally get a haircut today. Most welcome, as it feels quite long. Food: 7:55 am 107 g caramel pecan roll, 103 g blackberries, coffee

Tues 26 May

Will be spending the afternoon with Leone today while Mick gets his second (and hopefully final) surgery. Not sure if it's for his eyes or his varicose veins. Scale is going up again, so time to start getting serious about watching food and exercise. Going out for beer and pizza after hiking yesterday was not "getting serious". Food: 7:45 am 110 g caramel pecan roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Mon 25 May

It's Memorial Day! Nothing specific planned today, but do need to get the herbs planted and the tomatoes repotted. Sooner is better than later. Food: 7:50 am 80 g cardamom roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee

Sun 24 May

A very nice week in Door County to start off spring. The trees there visibly leafed out more over our week, and the cherry blossoms went from a very few to full bloom by the end of the week. We had one incredibly sunny, warm day last Saturday, and a couple of decent sunny days mid week. Some clouds and light rain, but managed to get out almost every day for at least a short hike. The sunny day was our wildflower hike with Jane and Julie, and we did Door Bluff Headlands that afternoon as well. We hiked other days at Peninsula, two days in different sections of Newport, the Ridges, Ellison Bluff. Good hiking all around and some lovely wildflowers in a variety of places. Saw one wooded section filled brim-full of trilliums that Mary and Ron alerted us to. Ate at a wide variety of places. Identified many birds, especially warblers, with Merlin, though I only caught glimpses of them moving too quickly to see. Food: 8:00 am 110 g cardamom roll, 106 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder
