Spring has sprung!




Spring is here in northern California. Everything is green, the flowers are blooming, the pollen is everywhere. This is the time of year that everything takes on a neon yellow color from the pollen. Even the schnauzers are sneezing. Ahhhh....take a big whiff....choooo!!! I guess there are always trade-offs. We could be having floods like in ND or snow like in the midwest. My whining is really insignificant when you think about what these people go through. I am reminded to be humble and thankful once again!

That neon yellow looks so familiar... oh, wait! I've seen that outside. The pine pollen is especially bad here in South Carolina. Most people I know are suffering through seasonal allergies. The office sounds like a TB ward. (Like I would know what that sounds like). I'm one of the fortunate few who are immune to spring's nastier side. I'm just enjoying the spectacular dogwood and azalea displays!
I've got a cousin in your area. He wouldn't live anywhere else. Is a true surfer dude!

Did you click on the bee's photo and see the pollen on it's back? I thought that was a great photo someone had on photobucket.

Oh, no I didn't. How cool. Note to self: the web is occasionally interactive....
