first swim!

Is it unseasonably warm? You could ask me, is it the perfect temperature? I would say yes. Apparently summer has come about 4 weeks early here. Cheers to that! Today I walked over to the swimming pool near my house, Eglisee, which is celebrating its 100th year of existence. It's a complex of several pools, for kids, and laps, and even an area just for women. (Nur für Frauen!) The water was cold still, obviously, but by the third time I got in I felt well adjusted to it. Then, I came home and started prepping for a taco party with some kammer orchester basel people. Fun fun! Also I took some photos of the little sprouts from all the seeds I planted. They're so cute.
planter boxes, with some strawberries in pots
 someone left their stanley knife to rust on the roof.
 peas and cornflowers
 nusslisalat
 chard! it already has red stalks.
 hmm, tomato, i think, and red leaf lettuce.
 my house, the trees, and what looks like a storm cloud.
 some mourning doves (wood pigeons) being pigeon-y
