It's bad here. I've been fighting it for weeks. You want to be outside and but comes at a high price much of the time. I was putting another garage cabinet together a few days ago and was sneezing, had itching eyes and had snot constantly running out my nose. Not pretty. Had to take a Benadryl and felt draggy the rest of the day. I'm allergic to a number of trees and about every grass known to man. But poison ivy? I could possibly eat the stuff. Go figure.
The camellia has already bloomed and faded. Daffodils and hyacinths have come and gone. Now we have columbine blooming and some other bulbs. Strawberries are blooming and setting fruit. The cherry bloomed in a big way this spring. Redbuds are doing their thing, with blossoms poking out of the bark like they do on those trees. The roses are growing but not setting buds just yet. Now it's all about maple pollen, which makes my nose unhappy and coats the car with yellow dust. We can tell time out here, at least roughly, by what's blooming. There's almost always something in bloom, with only about December and January without flowers. Living here is a joy. I suppose there are other places where there are flowers year 'round, too, but we have such an ongoing cycle that it's perfect.
I lived in Louisiana for a couple years. Come out in the morning and my burgundy car was green. Good news was if I waited awhile there was likely a squall coming to wash it all away.
Nothing visible to click on here. Or is that the joke?

As Marshall noted, we need to be watching the line.
Pollen gets me, but also woodworking dust
