10 days ago a bird Kelly noticed a bird started hanging out on our balcony. Wednesday last @hellokellykuhl noticed it was a pair and they were building a nest in a disused pot and they’ve kept at it. Yesterday and overnight one of the pair was nesting continuously. This morning, Easter, here’s 2 mourning dove eggs. New life, indeed. Happy Easter!

I wore my old wetsuit today. It’s had more wear and tear than the one I got in January. But the zipper works better. It’s the same model, but the new one has this comedic attribute: in a big wave, or even a strong wave, the zipper tends to open from my neck down to my left leg like I was a character in Magic Mike.
