Allergins

I have now sneezed and coughed more than in any past day. I know I did too much yesterday.
I mowed the lawn, with ear and nose protection, but still did not help the breathing, and cleaned a mold covered window that I did not know we had. I looked up on line how to do the cleaning and did it all by the book. Now waiting for it to dry so I can repaint the area.
The lawn looks great, some areas of the yard are still really wet from all the rain we have had, and we are expecting more, that is why I mowed yesterday.
I think I will buy stock in benedryl. I live on this amazing invention.
For those of you that do not know, I have become in the last few years an allergy magnet. I never know when they will hit, or what form of attack they will take. Sometimes it is sneezing, itching and coughing. Other times it is a swollen tongue that will send me to the hospital. Other times hives break out on my body in strange places like my pinky finger or the bottom of my foot. Which is covered by a sock and shoe.
Basically, Yes, I should go and get stuck with thousands of needles and figure out what the real causes are, but I am currently on a path to figure this out homopathically. Yeah, I want to see if I can do this without the need to be stuck a million times.
Living in the humid south has not helped this. I did have problems in Arizona but I feel that the main thing there was we were at 7000 feet and in the mountains. My main trigger is pine I do believe. Now after that I know I have a strawberry allergy that has now moved to tomatos. The next thing is potatoes and I love them so that would be why I need to go on a diet, another blog some day. I also have problems with junipers and the cedars up in Arizona. So I think trees are a big problem. This is really sad as my life is lived for trees for without trees we would not have a job, house, three cars, a college graduate and a college senior. Trees are our livelihood. Jeff works for paper mills.
I do not hate trees, I love trees, just hate their pollen. The cars are currently covered with a yellow film of pollen that washed off each day accummulates in double the next. I am going to the beach this weekend and there are no trees there. I am curious if that will help the allergies. If so I will need jeff to build me a salt water fountain in the back yard and a soft wind machine to mist my face  on a daily basis. As if that will ever happen.

The Sun

Okay, so all of our friends and family in the north can stop reading this right now and you will be fine. I promise.
The sun is amazing! I love that it has decided to revisit us here in Mississippi after a way too long break. The sky is blue and the wind is softly blowing and Robyn and I are soaking up some much needed vitamin D.
She asked me why we need this vitamin and I said cause the sun helps us have a happier outlook on our life and be better people. Real scientific I know. But it is the truth. The sun makes everyone seem more pleasant.
While on the deck I got to watch what appeared to be about a sixty or seventyish lady golf with what had to be her nintyish father. It was amazing. He walked very slowly up to his ball, swung with much caution and then drove the cart the thirty yards his ball had travelled. He putted the ball in the hole and his daughter scooped it out. I only hope I am able to do this at his age.
I am walking the golf course and it brings back many memories of my high school years on the girls golf team. Oh, for those of you that do not know, I was the girls golf team. I was the only girl on the team until my sister was a freshman. Anyway, I got 12th in the state of Montana my junior year in a driving rain filled tournament. My clubs were never the same after that. The grips were soaked and the last time I golfed, last year, my five wood flew out of the grip. Yeah, I know time for some new clubs. They are only like 40 years old. Just like me.....
Any way back to the sun. It lifts my spirit and helps me to realize that what ever little things are going on in life, the sun will come back out and make me feel much happier.
Happy Day to all.

Nothing

I got nothing today. That is it plain and simple. Uninspired and nothing. Here's to a better more thought provoking day tomorrow.

My Circle Story

I went outside to pull a weed, once I did this I had to pull another and another and then after I pulled weeds, the hedge needed trimming, and after the hedge looked great, the grass needed fertilizing. So we fertilized the grass and after fertilizing the grass the rain came.
When the rain came, the grass grew, and after the grass grew, the grass needed to be mowed, after mowing the grass the yard needed to be trimmed and after trimming the yard I noticed the bird feeder was empty and after filling the bird feeder, the birds spilt bird seed and the weeds grew.
I went outside to pull a weed, and sneezed and went back in the house.
