Another relatively cool week here in Wisconsin. Amazing that March was warmer than April and now it just won't get warm. As a result still no good pictures of our sprouting peas although a few of them have begun to poke their heads above ground. Maybe next week.
Nothing too spectacular about the week. Jo off to her job every day dealing with all the usual HR crisis that hit a company. Me at home puttering around finishing off some chores that were on the low priority list. I replaced a outside faucet that didn't manage to make it through the winter without developing a small leak. Then to continue the plumbing theme, I installed a new kitchen faucet that required multiple tries since the directions sent with the unit didn't exactly match the actual pieces that came with the unit and it took a while to figure out the fine adjustments necessary to get the handles to work properly. All said what should have been about a 2 hour job became a 5 hour adventure (not including a trip to Home Depot since naturally the old water lines wouldn't reach the new fixture). Next up was moving outside to expand our future fruit crops. We decided to replace some rose and holly bushes in the backyard with raspberry and blueberry bushes. Plus what would house of Jo's would be complete without some strawberries planted somewhere. So I spent a couple of days moving plants around the yard to make room for our future fruit crops (although I think it might be 3-5 years before we see any blueberries) while dreams of future jams and cereal toppings swam in my head.
For the weekend, we hibernated Friday night with a good, homemade, barbecue chicken pizza and caught up on some taped shows. Saturday was rainy so to make good use of it, after exercising and a wee nap, we headed to the movies. We saw "The Five Year Engagement" which while a pretty standard romantic comedy (boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, boy loses girl, and then boy and girl get back together) was still very enjoyable. We would recommend it to any fan of romantic comedies. Afterwards we headed to the east side for dinner at "Trocadero". The cosmo's where delicious and the brie sandwich and seafood tacos filled us up nicely. Today we are enjoying some sun and I think Jo will be enjoying a good book, a sun beam, and a really nice nap.
