March Blizzard
March 5th, 2010 by Markus
Today morning’s snowfall managed again to cast a spell on our garden. And besides the optical merits, it made me happy on a different level: All those hazel and alder pollen that had started to pollute (see that unison?) the air and made me announce my arrival wherever by loud and unstoppable pollinosis-induced sneezing: Now they are crushed on the ground, wetted to innoxiousness and frozen to death. Sometimes I am gleeful for a reason. It’s only that I now I just have a small grace period.

Markus, Beautiful snowfall! I have spring allergies as well and often welcome spring rain showers for much the same reason — knocking down the pollen. Have a good weekend!
Earl, today it was even colder with sharp gusts of wind, but believe-it-or-not, my sneezers could be heard several blocks. I admit this pretty much downs all anticipation of spring.
Marcus, did you pop over and shoot in my back yard without even knocking on the door to say hello?
Pretty shot.
Ha – I’d love to do this. It would not help escaping either winter cold or spring pollinosis, but I guess I would really enjoy this!
