Allergies Start
On Monday morning I drove Tyler to the Doctor’s office because a recurrent head cold and earache that kept him up all night . The Doctor said that Tyler has an ear inflammation of the ear canal and the head cold might be an allergy instead. She said he has more of the allergy symptoms of the time of the year in between seasons, allergies are very common in this area where we have quite a bit of vegetation and grasses.
I’ve picked some pictures for today’s post that I shot last Sunday. I hope you like them.

You are right HJ. We’ve all been waiting for the Spring, but inevitably it brings higher ‘pollen counts’, and the allergies start. When I was young, I had a terrible problem with grass pollen or ‘hayfever’ as it was known then. Luckily, with age, I have mostly grown out of it, with only a bearable residue. All in all, I think I’ll stick with optimism about Spring and the insects, such as Butterflies and Bees, which the pollen attracts.
Another good set of photos HJ. Dave.
