Spring officially announced its arrival with the pollen storm to end all pollen storms. I noticed the outflowing of yellow snow on Tuesday. I had parked my car outside and within less than an hour, it was covered with a layer of pollen. Combine that with the wind and dry conditions here lately and you have a full blown pollen storm.
The Bradford pears always bloom here at the end of February or early March, but the pine trees, dogwoods and the majority of hardwood trees REALLY work hard to show up one another come late March. Grown Dawg and I noticed how the pine trees were loaded down with the small blue/purple pollen cones over the weekend. And today they had all turned yellow.
The parking lots have a dull green / yellow coating on them and everyone is starting to complain of their allergies. The drug companies must love this time of year. Sort of like Black Friday for every other company in the world.
I am just waiting for the non-existent Spring showers right now.
At least it is starting to get closer to fishing season!
