Pine Pollen starting!

I saw my first pine tree spit yesterday!

I was looking out the front window and saw what looked like smoke coming across the drive, but it was the big boy on the corner.





Batten down the hatches for the next two weeks. On the good side, it gives a great excuse on house cleaning (or not) since everything will get covered.

Heck, been on my car for at least a week now.

Other evening, when it was still light out and that really quick storm rolled through, we got to watch the hail hit the pine trees and the puffs of pollen it knocked out. It was actually very cool.

Yeap, I heard the wind, looked out the window and said "O crap! a fire!" Than I looked again and said, "O crap! it's pollen season. No wonder I can't breath today!", O Crap, the puppies are going to turn yellow!" They just had a bath!!!

I was up Tanglewood Trail, a few years back, returning from a fishing hike, as a good and heavy rainstorm rolled in...I took shelter, and watched as tree after tree across the valley began emitting 'clouds' of pollen as the rain and wind hit them.

Since I can't take my eyeballs out and rinse them in a cool glass of water.... doesn't that sound good?????


this is the next best thing for this time of year - it's an eyedrop, but a little thicker than regular drops, so it really feels good when you use it


and then some nights, I use this - it is very lightweight and your eyeballs feel better as soon as you put it in

A pain but the cycle of life. Thanks for the tip Wily I will give it a try.
