When I can look about in any given direction, and see greenery of the of the brightest kind, beautiful and radiant blossoms in all colors and hues, well, then, I know for sure it's springtime!
Everything is just totally lovely to behold.
Yesterday, I worked in our garden and the sky was so blue and clear; the sun was warm but, not too. It felt wonderful pulling the soil around and weeding out unwanted growth. All in all, a superb day to be alive. I simply adore the spring season!
The pollen has cleared considerably; it is now in a manageable state. The last rain washed tons of it away. We are back to a normal and awesome spring time. I realize that pollen plays a vital role in the nature of the blossoming flowers and beautiful trees, etc, but, I can't compute it in its rightful order. The Creator of the Universe knows where the pollen fits in. I'm sure the springtime wouldn't be the same without it (pollen).

Pollen! It's Everywhere!
There's pollen on our cars, on the porch, on my shoes; well, you get the picture. Pollen is everywhere! We're waiting for a good ole' downpour to help us wash this 'yellow pest' away.
Every year the amount of pollen increases because the trees that produce the stuff continues to grow. Twenty years ago when we relocated to our present dwelling, all of the trees, especially the pines, were only a few feet tall. I remember only a light dusting of pollen during those years.
Today, almost twenty years later, these same trees are almost immeasurable. The buds that produce the pollen are huge. I love springtime, but the pollen and I are constantly in conflict. I am always trying to avoid it because of severe headaches, facial breakouts, itchy skin, red and runny eyes and noses, etc.
I don a mask and hat when I go outside to do a 'pollen' cleanup. This is performed every other day. I decided that it would be useless to try and clean up pollen every day. Each time I start
cleaning, the pollen seems to have multiplied. Oh well! Pollen is one of many natural occurences that we have absolutely no control over. This too, will pass. Nothing lasts forever. I look forward to some springtime without pollen. It can happen, you know.
