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.

Dandelions? Flowers?
ReplyDeleteCan I come stay with you for a couple of weeks?
Loved your Vernal 55 Linda
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
And this year starting earlier than ever! Cheers!

ReplyDeleteAh! Pollen! That's why I've been... no, wait. It's still winter here.
ReplyDeleteha...love me some spring...but then again i dont have allergies...
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteG-Man- C'mon down, the weather's fine.
ReplyDeleteOther 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.
I *love* the Spring. But I *hate* the allergies!
ReplyDeleteAhh and here we have only the mere hint of buds.. and our sneezes are still from winter colds. Pretty flower, Linda.
ReplyDeleteWow...do I like this line: "Dandelions dot the landscape like yellow stars in a sky of green." That's a wonderful visual.
ReplyDeleteThis was a perfect 55 for Spring, especially the part apart "noses." We've definitely been suffering and my gray car is green:~)
