I hate allergies!

My allergies have been so bad this year. Every year I have issues but it's been a long time since they have been this bad. Daddy heard the other day that a high pollen count is 12. Ours here in Indiana was 11. My cousin who lives in Atlanta said her formerly white car was recently yellow.

As I looked out our front door last week, I figured out why my allergies were so bad. We have such a pretty tree in our front yard. It flowered at the beginning of spring and then did this......................

As the wind blew, the pretty little flowers full of pollen blew to the ground looking like snow! This picture doesn't do it justice. I tried to get a picture as it was blowing down but it didn't run out at all.

I've been taking non-drowsy 24 hour Claritin--helps some but not til late afternoon. I then take Benadryl before bed every night. Helps til about 5 am when it wears off and my nose starts running. Today I bought maximum strength Benadryl to take tonight. We shall see if that helps any better.

Spring is so pretty and I was so ready for spring this year, BUT I'll be glad when this is all past.
