SEARCH BLOG: SPRING
After a long cold February to April where winter wouldn't end, May has been one of those hot and cold months in Michigan with plenty of rain. As a result, everything is blooming at once... and my eyes are constantly watery. I also seem to have more aches than usual, but I'll attribute that to trying to catch up with both yard work and my shaky golf game.
If you don't have allergies, you are quite fortunate. My wife can't go near a cat. Grass pollen and dust really bother me... so much so that I got a rider mower years ago. The other day, as I'm cutting the lawn, a cloud of grass cuttings whipped up by the wind blew around me. I was making a turn along our property line when that happened and the grass dust caused me to sneeze. That caused me to jerk the wheel to one side. That caused the mower to head toward a sprinkler head on my neighbors in-ground system. By the time I was able to stop, the sprinkler head was becoming part of the grass clippings.
Fortunately, my neighbor was amused by the incident. Naturally, I called the sprinkler dealer and have arranged for the repair.
Damn allergies.
