The people behind me have a Norway spruce. I've never seen
anything like it, at first I thought the tree was on fire, there
was a wave of smoke blowing out of it. First thing that morning
I wondered if it was sick, it looked very pale. Now I know it was
pollen.

It did that with every breeze for days.
