Was starting to do the spring gardening prep work and I went to check the status of our window flower boxes:

I was going to set up a wireless IP camera and have a live streaming 24/7 'Bird Cam' but I think that they will hatch before it arrives, I noticed one of the eggs has small cracks that are new as of this morning, hard to see but it's the one in the northeast quadrant of the nest:

Update 1: GIVE ME WORRRRRRRRRRRMS!

And then there were two:

More pics to come...

Awesome! It looks like two of them are larger.

Robin egg story: My brother's friend came home and found one last candy easter egg in a plastic bag on the counter. He popped it in his mouth. To his displeasure, he found it wasn't a candy egg, but a robin's egg that his mother found on the ground.

Sitting at the bar in a restaurant in Durham and a girl just walked by and was very complimentary of your photos. "So blue, those are beautiful". Your work is spreading joy! I have a picture I took the other day that clearly shows that I do not golf nearly enough.

Not only are my clubs rusty, they are now housing 4 little birdies.

Moved my clubs to one side of the basement to the other just last night, haven't played since the baby came.

Wait dude. Did I know you golfed?
by cgod 411 days ago  ·  link
I don't think you did.

I was not a serious golfer, but it's fun.

I feel like you are the Chevy Chase of golf. That's just based on never once seeing you golf.

By the way, when did you start gardening?
by ecib 410 days ago  ·  link
This will be my third garden, and the first where I'm planting my own seeds. Also the first where I'm staggerIng when I plant my veggies instead of doing it all at once like a total newbie. Last years garden had some issues so hopefully this years will be better. We will see. Tomatoes were all fucked up last year but I know two other people who had bad tomatoes too so I'm just gonna blame it on something besides my complete lack of experience as a gardner...

Sounds about right.

Haha, that's hilarious. I'd say the bird feels you golf the appropriate amount...

My father in law is in town and wants to take me golfing. I dare not disturb the nest. Looks like we're golfing out of the same bag. Oh btw cliffelam, you're driver is off limits until they leave the nest. -Sorry pal.

I look forward to seeing the little guys emerge.

Luckily I don't need the driver very often.

But I've hit quite a few birdies with it.

What?

Ok, this is starting to sound like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Good call. That would make me Larry?... I'm okay with that.
