Time for us southerners (Southern USA, that is) to exclaim about how bad the pine pollen is. Pine pollen season has started and everything is coated with the yellowish green pollen dust of the southern pine. Seeing as the southeast USA is big logging area, there thousands of acres of southern pine all of which start to release the pollen about the same time. Everything becomes heavily coated with the stuff. It's amazing as it is irritating. Fortunately I don't have an allergic reaction to it. There have been years when the wind blew huge dust clouds of pollen around. This year we have had intermittent rain which has kept the pollen from being as thick as it can get. We will go a couple of weeks with this stuff before the trees finish their blossoming. The car wash business make a killing. Wash your car in the morning and it is covered again by mid-afternoon, ready for another wash.
