We had storms last night. The wind howled around the corners of the house, thunder roared, lightning crashed and zigzagged through the night sky, and rain fell. There was enough wind and rain to knock a few catkins out of the trees and litter them across the deck, and there is a little less pollen on my car, but according to the 5-day pollen forecast on the weather.com site, there is still a lot of pollen out there.
Here's a pic of the tree in our neighbor's yard. It may look as though it's covered with green leaves, but there are actually very few leaves. What you may think are leaves are actually a multitude of catkins- all waiting to release their pollen. Those of us in close proximity will greet the release with a symphony of sneezes. Ah, Spring!
Tomorrow is chemo treatment day for me, so there may not be any blog posts for a couple of days. Instead of my usual long-winded ramblings, I'll try to post some pics of new blooms in the garden.
