Hello Spring Fever

Some of the pollen on our driveway.

Or is that spring allergies.  Don't get me wrong, I love spring, seeing the new plants coming up, seeing what survived the winter.  But I could do without the overload of pollen that we get here in the south.  It rained last night and now everything is covered in yellow pollen,  I walk out the door and start sneezing and my eyes start watering.  The pollen count all week is in the very high range.  It's predominantly tree pollen.  The worst offenders for me are the maple and oak trees which we have many of.  The pine trees are covered in pollen too, but the pollen spores are too large to cause most people problems.  The other thing I didn't know about is rye grass.  Well guess what we overseed our lawn in during the winter, rye grass and it's flowering now. I had no idea it could cause a problem.
I finished a couple more  of my library books,  Brooklyn and When Breath Becomes Air, good reads both.  Brooklyn a rather simple story of a young Irish girl who comes to America in the early 1950's.  She meets a young man and he falls in love with her, then she has to return to Ireland after the death of her sister.  It becomes rather complicated.
When Breath Becomes Air is the true, but sad story of a neurosurgeon who nears the end of his training, but is given a diagnosis of terminal lung cancer.
Now I'm working on SPQR, a 600 page history of Rome.
In lighter news we're thinking about painting our kitchen cupboards.  They're a rather dated looking light color.  I don't want to stain them, but I would like to paint them a green color.
Here are some of the color choices I'm looking at.
