Hi
Remember me? I used to blog here. But, um, life seems to be happening all around and now I find I haven’t posted an actual post in … um … a couple of weeks?
And now there’s this backlog of things, so let’s try and catch up a bit … caught while doing Soup and Old Clothes a few Friday’s ago …

Something’s in the Air
And it is nasty. The pollen count this week approached the record, set back in 1983, when 5,733 particles per cubic meter were measured on Tuesday. One week earlier, the pollen count was 17. Seven. Teen.
I washed the cars Tuesday night and, by morning, they were coated in yellow again. Walking in to work early Wednesday morning there were clouds of dust coming up off the sidewalk. Yellow dust clouds.
A little rain cleared some of it out of our Georgia air, but I suspect we’re not done yet … no one in my house is breathing well, even the dog is wheezing a bit.
