Green pollen everywhere

Here in New England you have to take the good with the bad. Living in the valley everything comes down. We have more than our fair share of maple trees. Most of them have green leaves, but then we also have the red maples.

If your not feeling well, it could be the pollen that raises havoc on your body. Stuffy nose, or running nose or both, feeling water in your ears and itching within, sneezing and feeling extremely tired, rashes appear in warm areas that look like the fifth. These are some of the symptoms.

When it gets this bad, we keep our windows closed. Otherwise, there is a dusting all over of green pollen. You can sometimes see the green powder on your car windshield, when window washers are a must. On the ground little baby green debris shed from the trees, like tiny blossoms.

The rain has washed it down to the ground and cleaned up the air a bit. Linda and I thought we'd have lunch in the park today until we saw the totally light green tables.

That's what it is like to live inward away from the coast, which does not experience the pollens to the same extent. And, that's why soon we will be heading out to the beach. I can' t wait.
