It's That Time of Year Again

No, not just March Madness or taxes, it's pollen time.  We're running more than 1,000 parts per cubic meter and that's mainly tree pollen, next the grasses kick in.  I mowed the lawn for the first time yesterday and Mac said all he could see was a yellow cloud traveling around the lawn.  I had to change clothes when I came in I was so covered.
This morning I went out to hang up laundry and the deck was just covered, so of course our shoes are too, which means the floors in the house.  It's a never ending battle.  And that doesn't even count the spores from mold outside---we've has so much rain.
I could have called this entry For Your Eyes Only, but it's not just my eyes affected, it's my sinus, my aching bones and muscles, my head.  You name a part and spores of one kind or another are probably driving it crazy.
The cat came in from outside and she's no longer just a grey striped tabby, she's now a yellow-bellied tabby.
Supposed to rain tonight and that will knock done some of the tree pollen, but it will also up the mold spores.  I need a level 4 contamination suit.

  3. Gosh you sound like you're suffering a bit there! Hope it soon dies down, we live in a farming area and suffer a bit at harvest but not as bad as this!
