Spring is lovely in North Central Florida this year. The Dogwoods are full of blossoms and the azaleas are outstanding; witness the exhibition just outside my kitchen window.

The downside to all this beauty is the pollen. It's everywhere. it covers the back patio. It covers the car. It covers the ribbons under the car. It makes one sneeze and the sinus feel full.

I guess we have to put up with such things to enjoy this spectacular Spring.

Maybe there will be a bumper crop of pecans, too. One can hope for such a response in repayment for the allergic snuffling and goose-like nose blowing of the local inhabitants. 'Cause one day all these flowers will wither and drop and the memories of this gorgeous spring weather will reside in the glow of the pecans nestling in bags in the freezer.

Wait for it - wait for it. Was that a plink on the tin roof?

Wow, the flowers are beautiful. Spring is in the air. The breeze was still cool when I walked to the car from my class last night. My FPL bill was only $89 thanks to the cooler weather. Was that the sound of the AC? Oh oh.

Our bill dropped dramatically, too. However the is AC back on and fans running hard.

Those are beautiful azaleas. J just finished off the last of the pecans 01 Doc and T gifted us with. The were so good. Encourage those trees!
