Ah, yes. Spring. The time when pollen silently and stealthily oozes into existence, covering all surfaces in Eastern North Carolina with a fine powdery yellow-green dust. Insidious, pollen coats every surface--overnight black cars morph into chartreuse; sidewalks, fences, shrubs all become the color of lemon citrine, but without the lovely luster. My entry tile is coated, the downstairs carpet has a green cast, and my black T-shirt has turned a dingy yellow. Yes, I have been outside working all day long, tirelessly fighting a war against pollen and losing. It wasn't even a fair fight. An hour after I hosed down the patio, the pollen was so thick you couldn't even see the cement underneath. If this is what the pollen has done to the patio, I shudder to think what it is doing to my lungs.

And here I have a yellow dusting all over everything in the house. We love fresh air and hate to turn the AC on so early in the year so we fight the yellow. I sweep up piles of yellow and dust daily. It's nutso!
Ella and I both have the ugliest dark circles from allergies.
May we all survive another allergy season without our heads exploding!
Ever gonna post again????
I am just heartsick over the loss of Hannah. I am so so sorry. I am praying that our Lord will guide you with peace and comfort in the days ahead. I live here in KC and was looking forward to getting together with Jess soon.
I am so sorry.

I am one of Jess and Rachael's on line friends. I had to seek out your blog to relay my condolances to you as well. I am praying through my tears and trying to figure it all out. I don't understand. I called my mom who also lost a young daughter and and she says all we can do is pray. So I am offering those to you and your family.
Sincerley,
Sheri
