Spring is Here!

Spring arrived this weekend here in the Gulf Coast! High 60s-low 70s + no humidity = perfect.


Michael and I spent time in Fairhope and walked around the pier looking for Henry the famous pelican, but sadly he didn't make an appearance this time. This is a special pelican because he was injured in hurricane Katrina and a local fisherman took him home and rehabilitated Henry in his bathtub. Henry now loves humans and always hangs out on the pier. BUT I just found out that Henry might actually be Henrietta! Some of the fishermen think he might actually be a she since the male pelicans constantly surround Henry/Henrietta and try to mate. Hmmmmm....one wonders...

Here is Henry/Henrietta (taken another time I visited the Fairhope pier):
