The past few days I wasn’t sure if I had a cold or allergies. My face hurt (don’t say ‘It’s killing me’) and I’ve been hoarse and coughing. The kids at school all have allergy/cold symptoms – coughing and sneezing their brains onto their sleeves – but there’s no telling what anyone actually has.
When I checked weather.com this morning it said ‘Tree Pollen Count is High!’ What? It’s still winter. Everything is still sleeping – where is this mysterious tree pollen coming from?
When I came home, I saw it.
Oh.
I guess it’s allergies.
Brad says
The trees! The trees are trying to kill you! Run!
Deborah says
I just did the same thing on Wednesday. People were saying their allergies were getting bad from the tree pollen. I thought, “Everything is still sleeping — where is this mysterious tree pollen coming from?” Then I came home and the t.v. said the tree pollen was high.
Peggy says
Dnag, that is one powerful tree! My eyes were really swollen yesterday & I had the other symtoms as well. Destroy that tree!
Lloyd's Mom says
Dad said What you think you are in Missouri. I thought we had a monopoly on pollen.
Kitt says
Allergies are no fun. But you can be glad for the bees, anyway! They are out collecting pollen and propolis from those trees.

eek, that’s very Hitchcock. menacing pollen on the branches like menacing Birds on the phone wires.
