A hunting we will go..

Dave and I decided to get out in nature this weekend, to enjoy the last of the nice weather. We went mushroom hunting and Dave was extremely excited that I spotted a bright orange sulphur shelf mushroom. Dave hasn't had one of these in over ten years and this was the prize of the day! Of course, after the good rain we had at the beginning of last week, there were many other mushrooms in the Downers Grove forest preserve, but this was what Dave was truly hunting for! We also brought Sasha along for the trip - she enjoyed the nature walk - especially when we saw squirrels and other fury creatures she wanted to chase! Here are pictures of Dave walking with his mushroom hunting bag and Sasha and I following. The second picture is my prize find - sulphur shelf prior to us cutting it from the log to bring home to fry up and eat.
On the house front, we went by there Friday. We actually had to sneak in because now the front door is on and locked and the garage doors are shut and locked. Luckily, Dave was able to walk up a board and lift himself up in the sliding glass door and then he unlocked the basement window for me (shhh, don't tell!) We were excited that the plumbing is completed - our bathtubs and showers are in place. They also started the duct work for heating and a/c. We're hoping for a pre-drywall meeting next week sometime!
