Summer Snow


The cotton tree in the front yard is such a wonderful shade all year long but while these things are flying in the air during spring I want to go at it with chain saw... or five chains saws. You can't even open the door to the outside without it the cotton billowing in. I have dust buster next to the door to vacuum it all up every time we come in and out. Our outdoor dinner party tomorrow night is doomed to have a side dish of cotton mouth. Sorry guys. Make sure you take your claritin before you come.

A lot of people imagine that they are allergic to cottonwood puffs, but they are mostly likely not.

Cottonwood allergies manifest before the puffs, if you think you're allergic to the puffs, it's probably something else that coincides with them.

That's really funny. I think I'm going to have nightmares about the creepy train conductor you posted on the other blog. Yikes!
