Last night I was sitting in my computer chair and telling my dh that I wasn't feeling right. I was achy and blah. I leaned my head back on the chair back and I felt my sinuses drain. What? Allergies already?
I looked outside and this is what I saw. Yes, those are my daffodils and irises coming up. They had started a bit before the last snow but I just thought I didn't have them planted deep enough. But then I saw this.
That is one of my Bradford Pear Trees. The other one is already leafing. I love these plants and trees. They are my first sign that Spring is here! My Redbud Trees will be next! They are beautiful. I went back in the woods to check on them, but they are not budding at all yet. See? And how do I know THIS is a Redbud? Because when they were in bloom last year, I put that orange tape/ribbon on them. See it? So, the reason I needed a nap today was because I was being bothered by allergies again today. It is OK though; I take psuedoephedrin and ibuprophen and am fine. It is a small price to pay for the beauties of spring.
It is odd, when I was on the Blood Type Diet, I didn't have ANY allergy symptoms at all!
You are so right, Spring is arriving, in all of it's glory!! Thanks for the pictures, it all looks so beautiful. Like you, I am beginning to sneeze already, but God's beautiful creation is so worth it. We are enjoying the warmer weather and getting outside more. I am so ready for Spring, and even the heat of Summer, which is so unlike me. I hope all is well in your home. Hugs!
(Me and my dd, Tiffany on an easy to climb tree limb on vacation in VA in 2007.) These are my ramblings on homeschooling and whatever else comes to mind.
Counting Down
The Holidays are over and I'm not quite ready to start a new count down yet. Maybe I should start a counting up the number of days I've stayed on my "diet".
