> D1 has nonsense. Replace it with a short circuit.

Current variations through D1 will affect the Vf, so Vdd isn't going
to be regulated. Although 6V is below absolute limit (but outside
spec Vdd) a 7805 would be better. And bulk capacitance, like
100uF. This is going to be particularly helpful as batteries run down
