Baraboo & Dells

 Did a midweek trip with friends to Baraboo and the Wisconsin Dells. The perk of being retired is being able to travel during the week when things are quieter. The International Crane Foundation is worth a trip just to see these magnificent birds. Interestingly, I think the same could be said for Dr. Evermor's Sculpture Garden . If you love offbeat this is for you.  Circus World Museum brought back some great memories of childhood, even if I have never enjoyed clowns. A sample of the trip follows.

Dairy Farm Tour

 As part of Door County Learning in Retirement we visited a dairy farm south of Sturgeon Bay, WI. The Olson's took us on a tour of their 150+ year old farm on a windy Spring day. Compared to how our grandfather's milked, and especially to how my great-great-great-grandfather would have been farming in West Jacksonport, WI in the mid-1870's it was incredible to see the cows queueing up on their own for robotic milking with the Lely Astronaut.
