Spring, a time of new birth! Thats what I say when I think of Spring. New everything.... new clothes (get rid of the old winter ones for another year), new flowers, trees and POLLEN.
Pollen, yes that yellow stuff that is currently floating around in the air so thick that you can't tell if its foggy or its pollen. Yesterday it suddenly appeared in all of its glory. Here we have Pine Pollen where the little pine pockets fill up and suddenly they let loose. Seriously, here it is so thick that you can see it floating in the air and when you are driving down the road it is everywhere. If you never experienced it you have to at some time just to see it. I find it everywhere. Your car is one place that gets covered by it, most cars right now are a pale shade of yellow. I had a party at my house yesterday for Easter and had to spray off the deck and in the puddles was the film of pollen, on the surface of the pool was another place. Imagine if you were swimming and had to dive thru the pollen surface. The one thing that really imazed me was that I had black flip flops on and they were yellow and I had pollen up my legs above my ankles. This was because I was running back and forth from the gazebo to the house in the grass!!!
Now the professional doctors say that you should always take your shoes off before entering your home to keep the pollen from your shoes from entering the house. They also say you should change and launder your clothes immediately upon entering. Here you would be doing wash constantly and then putting your shoes on and off. I just washed my feet when I got back in the house. Its everywhere......
Thank goodness for Claritin D because I wouldnt be the same if I didn't have that stuff. Its just a necessity here in these parts.
I washed my car today.... just because it needed it but before the day is over I will see that thin yellow film coating it again and in a few days I will need to do it all over again.
It's been beautiful on the Crystal coast, all worth the cold winter days we had to experience to get to this point. We have a lot of visitors here on the island this week and once again we have to be glad that we have them here. It's a wonderful business to be in, and having the ability to help people enjoy their vacation on our beautiful coast is a blessing.

Til I see you all again, I will try to keep my eyes from itching,my nose from running and the cars clean!!!
