Pollenpalooza


The pollen count here is astronomically high. I mean, I'm no meteorologist, or weather/natureman or anything, but...it's got to be. There is literally a fog of pollen in the air that you can see "misting down". It's horrible.
Stand outside for more than a few minutes and your glasses are coated in it.

I've washed my car twice in 2 days, and had it covered with pollen again in just a couple hours each time.
YUCK!

Is it this bad everywhere?
Take a look.

My doorsteps this morning:


My doorsteps this afternoon:

Luckily, I've never been one to suffer from the pollen much. Not like others I know.
I did have a headache from the time I got up yesterday morning, til mid afternoon today, and Greg says that may be from the pollen...*shrugs*. probably.

I just think it's ick...I was on recess duty today at school, and it was hard to breathe, the air was so thick. The temps are wonderful, but the pollen is killing us.
EVERYTHING is yellow/green around here.

Is it bad where you are?

Wow, this is terrible. My husband and my daughter-in-law have horrible allergies and they have been suffering lately but I don't say anything like this.

Yep, it's that bad in Central Texas right now too. Our patio is covered in those little fuzzy things from the oak trees, it looks like we laid (bad) carpet! But the weather is gorgeous :) Kathy

It's bad here but not as bad as it is there. Luckily we have no pine trees in the yard since they seem to be the worst culprits. Ugh!
Peace & Much Love,

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
