• We’re supposed to have several inches of rain here, but “They” keep trying to work drought into it.  It’s been raining since December  2007.  This time it was a map of the Southeast showing water flow of rivers and the like? A patchwork of green and brown spots on the big weather map.   Ok well rivers are the quickest things to go up and down, unlike lakes and groundwater, and most are a function of what the Corp of Engineers decides to release somewhere–ergo–not necessarily based on current weather reality.

  Dogwoods in early full bloom, azaleas just beginning.   Paperwhites and hyacinths make nice sweet stench in my front yard.  Too many squirrels, and they haven’t had the first round of babies yet.  Neighbor had a hummingbird, so I need to fill that feeder.

  Macon Cherry Blossum festival was fun a couple of years ago, but looks like the main weekend will be rain impacted for the second year in a row.   Red diamorpha moss blooming at Panola and Arabia Mountain parks just east of town.

  Weather Channel talking of children’s allergies.  TV weather, whether local or national–always wants you to stay inside and glued to set–because something might happen somewhere or change-ha-  On the allergies–they warned in early morning pollen is heaviest, but in the evening it’s mold spores.  Ok–then what–indoor video games all day?  Since I’ve been taking echinacea when I feel the need —beginning about a year and half ago–haven’t taken a cold pill since.  Take the usual C, B complex, multi vitamin, and etc too.
