My husband and I were outside yesterday when a bird landed on a tree branch above us.  Pollen just EXPLODED off of the tree.  In fact, just thinking about that, I want to go take an allergy pill right now!

RYC:  Oh, don't get me started on the squirrels!  That is never-ending struggle.  My daughter almost bought me a marshmallow gun for my birthday last year!  (Yes, there really is such a thing!)  I find flinging ice cubes to be more environmentally sensitive.

@sarahsD - Thanks.  I love honey on my waffles & pancakes, so maybe I'll try local stuff.  In the meantime, Allegra works pretty good.

@suzyQ_darnit - Do you have that icky yellow-green pine pollen?  Every year when the trees start bearing fruit I resort to making squirrel baffles on the trunks.  They're tricky to make, but they work.

@SuSu - Yes, the girls look prettier when they shed their winter clothes, but spring does stir up the old hormones, too.

Dear Sully,

I may have visited before on blogring challenges. If not, I'm here from the Featured Grownups ring, where I wrote about this subject.

We usually have "perpetual spring" in SoCal but the past few years there have been more upswinging and downswinging of the weather than usual.

I knew this about you.

  Hope your good.
