I'm so stoned on allergy medicine right now that my head feels like it's about to fall off.

Yesterday we were inside all day but today I am working outside. Time to get the Neti pot out!<BR/>Annie- This is a first for me. I think the trees were loaded because of the cold weather. They'll be recharging for another dose in a few days.Rock rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/00348711150803587369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-4120850286761259122009-01-19T07:27:00.000-08:002009-01-19T07:27:00.000-08:00Great photo, Jenny!

At our previous house the decks and parked cars would be covered with the yellow dust. <BR/>Drive through our old neighborhood at the right time and you can catch the scent of the pollen, too. <BR/> <BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-77072711597045176452009-01-18T20:16:00.000-08:002009-01-18T20:16:00.000-08:00I've been on my allergy medicine for a couple of w...I've been on my allergy medicine for a couple of weeks, in preparation for cedar season.

That's when I looked over at some trees in our yard and saw the huge plumes of pollen rising.

The reason why I didn't linger was because my allergies were extremely bad this morning--I took my allergy pill and still had to wait for an hour or two for it to kick in, and in the process went through half a box of Kleenex. <BR/><BR/>And this explains it all.katinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658859113915782535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-8354165619251890072009-01-18T16:49:00.000-08:002009-01-18T16:49:00.000-08:00I wish I could have captured the cedars closer to ...I wish I could have captured the cedars closer to the house but by the time I ran to get my camera they had done their thing.
