The trees are frisky in the south.

It is springtime in Atlanta and the trees are showing their love for one another by filling the air with yellow pollen.  We had a wet winter so all that God has created green are really pollen heavy this spring.  I have been living here for 10 years now and this is the worst I have ever seen it. So many of my friends and colleagues and family members are suffering from allergies and of course our vehicles look like they have been through a yellow powder fight.

Met my honey for lunch at our local Chinese restaurant yesterday and this is what my car looked like when I walked back to the parking lot.  It was spotted with thick pollen making my silver grey and black car a yellow green hue.

Had to use windshield wipers on the back window in order to see.  You don't use fluid when the pollen is this thick or it becomes yellow paint.  Best to just "push" it out of the way with the wipers.

Yup, that is pollen on my tires and along the splash guard.  The parking lot was a pale yellow when I walked to my car.

As I mentioned above, this is the thickest pollen season I have ever seen in Atlanta and so much that I noticed clouds of pollen move from the trees when the wind blew.  I thought I was seeing things until CNN showed a video of that happening all around the metro ATlanta area.  It was clouds of yellow blowing everywhere.

Even Kota got into the act when he went outside to run territory in the back yard, he came back full of pollen and was coyote sneezing all over the place.

He hates when I put this on him, he says the squirrels laugh at him.

Had to wipe him down with a damp towel to get it off of him before I let him back in the house.   What do you do with pollen running amuck outside...I head for the garage and paint furniture for my booth.  Have a few shappy items I will be bringing in this weekend and have a major booth redo in mind as well.  Gotta keep everything looking fresh and I may have to wipe down some of the residual pollen that seeps into everything.  Have a lovely weekend all.  Sea Witch
