Pollen has started here. Won't be long till the pine trees bloom, and yellow pollen covers everything. You can't get away from it, burns the eyes, irritates the nose and sinus, and causes a lot of respiratory infections. That's when you pray for rain.

Ice cream is okay. I mean, I like it well enough, but it doesn't agree with me all that well so when I indulge, it's a very small amount. I like Breyer's French vanilla. I am much more likely to get a cone of ice cream when I am in Europe. Turkish ice cream was very interesting and different from what we are used to in the States.

@terri I looooove plain Greek yogurt with honey drizzled on it. Sometimes I mix a drop of vanilla into the yogurt first. So good!

Snowing here. I am in my bathrobe, enjoying a lazy snow day morning. I brought some work home with me that I will get to in aa little while.

Those of you who have spring allergies - start eating local honey now, before they start. As local as you can manage. There is some evidence it helps when allergy season rolls around. Almost like you are building a resistance.

My performance has even been more shameful. Between the camera switch, being stupid busy at work, my kids not sleeping, and giving whatever time necessary to the brewery, my mind is too tapped to do anything creative.

I never thought of getting involved with a brewery when my kids were growing up. That would have been nice.

Gary thinks 'bee pollen' is better for allergies than honey ... but quite similar.

When I was younger I had allergies to beat the band. Nowadays I usually never get anything worse than the crud. 5 and within a few minutes of .25. Some moron parked his truck right up against the marquee poles. I call in the morning to find out if the other guy can handle it or if I need to come in to do it. I don't know if I can find enough to keep me in town until 12. Maybe I'll learn some more about the camera.

Tried it but it doesn't help me??? I take Zyrtec D, Flonase, & Singulair year round, in addition to other Asthma drugs to limit the effects of allergens and still it gets rough in the spring.

Hadn't thought about it but back when the hormones kicked in on our only daughter, I could have been my own best customer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I think it depends on what you are allergic to, I think.

Hi all!

We were supposed to get snow today, 4-8 inches they predicted. Nothing, but rainy/wet snow. Roads are just wet. I'm actually pretty happy we don't have anything accumulating.

More snow and wind today. How much? Depends upon who you ask and what time it is. On the coastal plain here in CT, no one ever quite knows what’s going to fall as snow versus rain.

It was nice to be able to work out this morning. I’m finally getting back to respectable levels on my lifts. But that also means that I’m close to losing my coffee by the end of the last set.

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the coastal plain.

Meanwhile, I feel like I am living in a snow globe.

I've read the same thing. Apparently it does matter to use local honey (and your local bees!).

Always support your local bees!
