LOVE this time of year. love, love, LOVE! highs in the 70s, lows in the 40s. perfectly comfortable throughout the day. wanting a cardigan in the evenings. open windows and breezes through the curtains. the hum of tree frogs. freshly scraped knees from endless bike rides.
no bugs. no humidity.
but the pollen. oh, the pollen...
for me, it's trees. oak trees and pine trees, covering the world (and my eyes! and nose!) with their yellow-y, dust-y presence. i use more contact lenses in april than i do throughout the rest of the year.
for all of you who are suffering (not so silently) along with me, i offer a heart-felt "gesunheit!"
Spring also brings a lightening of my heart, an emotional cleanse that seems to coincide with the shedding of heavy clothes. i can't help but look forward on a sunny Spring day, lifting my face to gentle rays of warmth. i want to move my body and still my heart.
on a day like today, i believe i just might be superwoman.

That is one of my favorite pictures of you ever!
Great picture. : )
I love spring too. But i hate having allergies.
oh Lelly.....I gave an "achoo!" on my spt......but mine wasn't clever like yours! ;)
Along with the sneezes, I must check for ticks.
Thanks, Lel. I'd only plop on the grass without a quilt for YOU! :)
I love it -- not the allergies, but the sneeze picture. My spring allergies took a reprieve my first year here, but they found me this spring. I hoped to leave no forwarding address for those!
Yea, pollen covered cars are NOT fun. MISS YOU!
cute photo. Maybe if the snow would stop we'd be sneezing too.
The sneezy-itchy-watery-scratchy time of year. Other than that its just great right?
Love the sneeze photo!
Yeah! I am glad you are back doing spt's!
I posted mine.

I think i'm gonna do this, but only via twitpic. helps me maintain my record of not actually utilizing my blogspot account.
That picture made me laugh! I am excited to be doing SPT's again (or in my case this time SPW)!
