Pollen


This time of year we have a layer of yellow dust on just about everything….pollen; pine pollen to be specific. The front porch is yellow; the flowers have yellow dust on them, the dog’s water has pollen floating on it. Duane has dug little ditches in the yard by the downspout to avert water away from the house and after the water has gone the ditches are yellow. Sweep the front porch and it’s back the next day. I’m not trying to complain, just to explain this natural phenomenon that occurs each year around here. Hmm...maybe we should call it "yellow fairy dust" instead. Sounds way more romantic:)
