I love our Open Air issue. At the time we start to work on it, summer is right around the corner. Greater Madisonians are shedding winter layers to start enjoying the warming outdoors.

We’re happy to continue our newest tradition of featuring some of our area’s favorite food carts in this issue. We have fantastic indoor options all year long, and then the summer brings us even more. With so many choices, we could dine out three meals a day, seven days a week, and experience a different fabulous meal each day. It’s an incredible gift our culinary community provides us.

But some days, you just want to stay home, and The Patio Warehouse in Sun Prairie can set you up with the goods to make time at home better spent. Their business-model change from wholesale to retail passes along some pretty great savings to you, and the choices are plentiful.

To get even more out of your outdoor space, incorporate some tips from Madison Audubon to create a welcoming bird habitat. It’s two birds, no stones: you’ll be doing your part for conservation and have something human and feathered friends will love.

Be sure to use this time to explore our beautiful state. If you don’t know where to start, the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin hosts over 260 field trips each year. With trips covering numerous areas of interest and accommodating any ability level, you’re certain to find the right one for you, your family, and your friends.

I encourage you to also visit Belleville’s Library Park. Library Park, on the National Register of Historic Places, is a focal point of the town. The Badger State Trail crosses the park, and the Sugar River is nearby. It’ll be a lovely day.

Finally, when you need a break from the heat, visit Chazen Museum of Art to see a range of beautiful and intriguing work, including Martha Glowacki’s My Arcadia . Chris Gargan’s dive into Martha’s work will impact how you think about science and nature.

Happy summer adventures!
