Spring finally arrived

We had rain Monday so the pond people cancelled on us.  The came Wednesday though and got the pond in tip top shape. Jill went to the Art Institute with her friend Cindy and I stayed home for the pond people.

Thursday Muellermist came to start up the sprinkler system but the guy ran into problems and could not finish in the time allowed so he has to come back May 1st.

We had lunch at Amy’s and then we dropped the kids off at Spring Camp.  We picked them up at 3:00 and went to Brookfield Zoo.  It closed at 5:00 but we had a nice visit.  It was such a beautiful day.

We finished up a great day by taking the kids to Antonino’s for dinner.  Kyle continues to wow us with his reading skills.  He seems to be able to read most signs even as we drive by them.

Friday I drove out to Naperville to have lunch with Mark at Heaven on Seven.  It was in the mid 80’s almost all day.  Ro is finished with chemo therapy.  She will have a scan next Thursday to see if it has been effective.

Saturday it rained off an on all day sometimes raining very hard.  We did managed to get some dirt and a little piece of edging put in by the patio and spread some enriched soil over by the fence.  We went to the pet store and bought for more fairly large fish for the pond so now we have 14.
