Wow Sky! Was I wrong! I though El Nino was a local special on the menu.
Last spring and this spring I have had really bad reactions to pollens. I haven't had anything close to it since I was MUCH younger. There are different pollens here than in Ohio. A lot of folks react to the pollen from the live oak tree. If you wipe off surfaces from your lanai the cloth is covered with a dark yellowish green "dirt". Coupled with the construction dust that is air born, it really makes it bad for people who have allergies.

Helene has them worse than me, and Sweetie not at all. Funny how people do or don't react to the stuff.

Neighbors were talking about it last night and said good luck with getting am appointment with allergists right now. They can see you in six to eight weeks.
