I'm guessing it's the excessive pine pollen, which means it will be a long time before I'm away from it. Just irritating, not too bad.

It's nice to see both the "forest" and the "trees". I'm surprised at your allergies. Somehow I thought the East Coast had the market on those and if I'd just go west, they wouldn't bother me.

I'm bummed that we had to bypass Florence on this trip, but we're planning to head back that way in October, so I'm looking forward to what you discover. The greenery is so lush, and even more so this year after the exceptionally rainy winter. But I think it's made the pollen producers go into overdrive! The pine pollen has been giving me sneezing fits.

You should see the pollen from the pines here in our park!! John has to brush the MH every morning or it looks terrible covered in the yellowish green pollen. If you don't use the A/C, everything inside is covered with pollen. Not allergy friendly!!
