Why I Sneeze

I'm sneezing - a lot. The white stuff ya see on the bay isn't whitewater or waves -- tis a mass of pollen that has fallen onto the bay and has been pushed together by the waves and tides. Today's high tide pushed only a wee bit of the mass into the cove -- there is a lot more of it up at the north end of the bay.

Another day with overcast skies and only the faintest hint of the sun. Still, temps are in the mid to high 60's -- tis warmer than it looks. Meanwhile, I'm sneezing like one of them characters in a Disney cartoon.

A couple more photos of the rose that tries to eat the stairs. In the first, you can see why it gets called that; the second is a closeup.


The last photo is the rose outside my bedroom window.


If I remember correctly, that is pink columbine behind it.

Sneezing

No wonder I have been sneezing - geez, look at the pollen washed ashore by the high tide. Egad (and achoo).

Cloudy all day until 3ish when the sun finally started to emerge. Warmed up quickly from the 50's to the 60's with the addition of sunshine. Weather dood says it will be overcast all week with sun breaks each afternoon. Today was more than sun breaks - actual sunshine for the past couple of hours.

Of course as soon as I say that, I'm sure the sky will cloud over again (laughing).

Until then, Token and I will be on the deck enjoying the sun.
