Ode To My Oaks
my springtime hellThey're big
They're 'purty'
But their falling pollen
Makes my car real dirty.
I could park in the garage, except there is too much stuff in the way.

Yah I just sneezed looking at that picture. I love Spring but HATE pollen ;-)
soozieq-
The pollen is just killing my husband... but then he could be faking it to get out of yard duties!
That's a great little rhyme! The pollen is killing my sinuses.
rae ann-
Yeah, there's nothing so bad as a bad rhyme... or a pun.
I've been ok, sinus-wise (so far.)
Great poem there. :-)
I hate when my car gets coated. Just in the last year I found out that I have allergies. I just don't know what the trigger is. Mine are worse in the winter.
And why do garages end up being magnets for stuff other than cars?
squirl-
My deep blue car, coated with yellow pollen looks greenish.
My husband thought he was immune from poison oak... until last year that is!
Our garden tractor takes up quite a bit of space, but we mostly are holding a lot of my youngest daughter's crap, er stuff...
J., if you read this; you need to come by and start sorting!
Gah!
**sneeze**
Excuse me!!!
Sorry Sierrabella, I just couldn't help it with all that pollen!! ;) I love the picture, though!
Squirl, I bet molds and spores are your trigger, then.
eclectic-
Bless you!
I think you're correct with Squirl's diagnosis. No wonder you're called eclectic!
welcome back sierrabella! (pollen and all.:)
I love oaks! I wish we had some. All we have is a couple of dumb ol' Bradford pear.
dredom man-
Hi!
As you can see, I'm posting less and less frequently.
Guess I'm getting busier!
kitty-
Bless you!
Whenever I go looking for you, you've either moved, or changed your blog!
Hugs back 'atcha!'
kat-
Bradford pears sound wonderful!
We have a couple of apple trees and a peach, which the deer get more use out of than we do!
I just really enjoy your blog--have missed you-from Georgia where the pollen was 2 months ago and no excuse for a dirty car any longer!
Happy Mother's Day to you!
anonymous-
Well hello! Thank you for the compliment.
I thought about taking a picture of the dirty car and posting...I washed it one week ago, and it looks awful already!
rae ann-
Happy Mother's Day to you too!
Hope I can make some time today to come visit...
See, I came by to wish you Happy Grandma's Day!!! How IS that little grandson of yours, anyway?? Either way, Grandma or Mom, you've done good work, so enjoy your day!!
eclectic-
Happy Mother's Day to you too!
Little grandson is coming over today (Monday) to spend the night!
Crap, I'm a day late and a dollar short.
Happy Mother's Day!
Welcome back !
Park it on your door step. LOL
squirl-
Thank you!
The grandson helped me transplant some Roma tomatoes today as a late Mother's Day gift to his mama.
jac-
Thank you.
Actually the doorstep isn't much better. The pollen has been blowing like a sandstorm, so it's everywhere.
I know that Memorial Day doesn't mean a three day weekend for you, as you're retired. But I hope you enjoy it anyway. :)
squirl-
Oh, I still enjoy the holidays! I was scheduled more than my fair share of holidays back when I was working, so I still appreciate being off!
Hope you're getting some time off this weekend.
