Lovely May

I love May. Friday night I went with Richard Bonomo, Kathbert, Luxuli, and her husband to the Arboretum to check out all the blooming crabapples and lilacs. Saturday the weather was beautiful so Travalon and I walked around Mineral Point for a bit, though we discovered it was too far to walk to the old brewery on our list, then we hiked at Governor Dodge state park, then we went to Stoughton for Syttende Mai, and we ended the evening at a bonfire with Jilly Moose and some other singles. It was such a gorgeous day. 

Yesterday Travalon and I went down to the Union Terrace and were going to take a walk by the lake, but the boat warning went off three times, and then the sky to the south turned black, so we hurried back to the car. A huge wind blew dust into our faces, but we just beat the rain and hail. It was a very short-lived storm, and the sun was soon shining again. Then the one B-Boy and Mo-Girl hosted a birthday party for Cecil Markovitch, and Travalon brought Croatian plum and pear brandy since he and Cecil share Croatian heritage. The pear brandy was sweet and delicious, but the plum brandy tasted like paint thinner, or at least the way paint thinner smells since I have never personally tasted it. The B-Boy grilled steaks – yum! The evening was so beautiful that Travalon and I took a short walk after leaving the party. Today looks to be just as beautiful – I will find out soon.
