I woke up this morning, feeling off. Like the beginning of a head cold. As the day progressed, it donned on me - it's hayfever time of year! And of course, my husband has the front door wide open! It is a beautiful warm day - I went out and sat in the sun. I'm not going to stay inside when it is gorgeous out.
A good idea!
The almond Tree is in full bloom - many things are starting to sprout and I tend to get a sinus headache on the side of my nose - the roof of my mouth itches - and my eyes water. Even my eye sockets are hurting! Things don't smell right or taste right. Down the road are these big yellow trees in full bloom. I think they might be Acacia trees which have always bothered me. Oh well - what can I do? Just deal with it like I have for almost 70 years. Actually, I didn't start getting Hay Fever until I was like in my 40's. I don't usually take allergy meds for this but if it gets in the way of my weekly activities, I just might. It's supposed to rain in a few days and that usually clears out the pollens.
Do you suffer from hay fever? How do you deal with it?
The kids left for their trip - I'm just so excited for them. We went over and fed Ed and Harry - didn't see Harry at all but Ed did come out to growl at us. He does that all the time - such a grump.

Our community is heartbroken over the 2 boys that were killed. We grieve with their families. The ages were 8 and 10. The
Family on the right is a Redding police detective. Both are local and so many from other counties are chipping in for the families -
A good use for that $50 gift certificate was to donate it to Officer Moore and his family. We drove down to the police station and no one was there in the front office. Apparently, they do not have the funding to provide a front desk person - The police officers are still working - so that's good. We will wait till Monday.
There are 2 fundraisers - for each family for meals and gift cards.
The generous donations have been staggering - close to $60,000 has been raised so far and I am sure that amount will rise. Our community has always been giving.
See, this is why I like living in a smaller community. I've seen this over and over - since we moved here. It totally blesses my heart to see such compassion.
Meanwhile, gift cards and meals won't bring back their precious little boys, but it will help the families with any monetary needs they have.
Take Care and hug your family members!
