The density of pollen out there is unbelievable!

This being my first spring/summer in the RTP and all, I was perplexed this
morning when I got to work only to find my black shoes covered in this
layer of yellow-green stuff...

It's bad enough that we skipped spring and went straight to summer....

<sigh>

Well, I'd rather be covered in pollen than snow I suppose!

P.S. In case you need closure on that nagging question "Who in the....Is
she the...ummm?"
the answer is....yes...yes..I'm the Canadian you met at the Flying Saucer.
Out of lurking mode, I am now live and interactive on the list.
Cheers!

Subject:  [internetworkers] RE: pine pollen


oh, good!  someone else who's enjoying this as much as i am.... i had
a lovely experience first thing this morning.  as i was out running, a
car buzzed by at quite a clip, kicking up a huge cloud of yellow/green
dust, into which i disappeared from sight.... i thought i'd never find
my way out of it, let alone get any real air back into my lungs...
every time i breath out, a little puff of yellow/green dust comes
floating out... ;-) ahhhh, spring!
