Everything is Blooming

Clematis

It was so thick my throat started closing up!  The pollen is incredibly high right now.....exceptionally high.  I headed out for a run tonight and halfway through my route, my throat started to feel funny and I felt like I couldn't even swallow.  There was also an overwhelming smell of something blooming .  The smell was so strong it almost turned my stomach.  I love spring, but wow, this is the most powerful spring I can remember in a long time.

Work is stressful,  and life is busy.  Just listening to the bird songs tonight made me feel better.  Hey dad, I heard a Wood Thrush singing tonight in the deep woods.  His song was so beautiful....I smiled and thought of you daddy-o!

  3. I usually don't have allergies, but this year it's bugging me. Still nothing like being outside.

  4. Bird song indeed makes life so much more joyful. I awaken each morning early, to the first chirps and songs right outside my window. It always brings a smile to my sleepy face.

  5. I don't know if its the pollen or a good ole cold but I am miserable with it! Its the first time in a long time I've caught something if that is what it is. Hope you feel better quickly!
