pinecone, caked with pollen

Pinecone

That’s how thick it gets around here. It’s the most beautiful time of the year, weather-wise, but also the most vexing. This yellow powder dusts every imaginable surface outside and (if the windows are open, which they should be in these perfect temps) inside.

Scratchy throat, watery eyes, and ah-choo!

That's a lot of yellowy dust. Is that better or worse than cottonwood tree fluff?

My word verification is xswowshr

err... excess washer ex wow shower.. yeah, I'm always trying to make words out of license plate letters too.

I'm not sure about the cottonwood tree fluff! Does that stuff creep into your sinuses?

We need a wow shower to wash it all away. Rain today. That's a good thing.
