Pine trees put out the obvious yellow pollen. For a week or so every
spring, that's what really shows up on cars and windshields. That time
ended here about 2 weeks ago. What I saw Friday morning was pollen
from other plants. Again...I was shocked at what I saw.

I love opening my windows, east and west, and flushing out stale air
every day or two if possible. I can't do that for awhile now knowing
what's in the air.
