The first day of April dawned overcast and by mid-day a gentle rain was pattering down. Much needed, as the pollen count here has been at a 12 yr. high. And...for all the blathering about the beauty of Spring, I, like many others, am suffering from the side-effects of pollen overdose...sinusitis/bronchitis. When I walk across the room, I feel like I am walking on a tightrope in the wind. Quite a "heady" feeling. So I have been and will be out of commission for a few (more) days while I recover. With the Easter holiday coming up, I sure hope to recover soon.
The rain has, thankfully, stayed around, sometimes coming down heavily. Though there is still much pollen to be generated, my truck has now returned to its original color. The Georgia pines are putting on new growth, and a fresh coat of green covers the woods at the opposite end of the pasture. There is still much beauty to be enjoyed. Now, April is here; it is Azalea time. Look around at the community in which you live and find the hidden beauty that this new month will bring to light.
Whether you celebrate Easter as a religious holiday or a Spring holiday, be safe in your travels and remember to take the time to observe the world around you. I will be off-line until after the holiday. Until then,
Happy Rambling!
