Spring: Friend or Foe?

The flowers are blooming, and the trees are budding.  Mother Nature decorates with brilliant colors and sprouts tender leaves.  Dandelions dot the landscape like yellow stars in a sky of green.

Noses are sneezing and sniffling; eyes water and foreheads wrinkle in pain.  Spring is praised for it's beauty and cursed for it's allergy-inducing pollens.

  6. I am so thankful I don't have allergies!! Jepeto has them, but, oddly enough, he suffers during late summer, not spring. I guess he's not allergic to pollen... maybe ragweed?

    Other Mary- It had an easy start here since it was such a mild winter.

    Hilary- Thanks. I've heard people eat dandelion greens.

    Alice Audrey- Don't worry, Spring is on it's way to your place.

    Brian- Thankfully, I don't either.

    Nicky- Hubby has allergies in the Spring and to a lesser degree in the Fall, too.

  10. Wow...do I like this line: "Dandelions dot the landscape like yellow stars in a sky of green." That's a wonderful visual.

    This was a perfect 55 for Spring, especially the part apart "noses." We've definitely been suffering and my gray car is green:~)
