This means WAR!

By the calendar I've been marking, the oaks of Georgia have been conspiring to murder me for exactly four weeks now. (I've no doubt they'd settle for suicide, they don't seem fussy.) I have resolved to slaughter every damned one of them and move to Seattle. ACat points out it would make more sense to move FIRST, then I wouldn't need to.

Seriously, I keep forgetting just how draining chronic pain is, and my body keeps teaching me all over. Hopefully this is almost over - my research suggests it probably ends around the end of April, but I have a horrible suspicion that our mild winter means record length of pollination, to go along with staggeringly record breaking amount of pollination this year. We've been talking about moving since the start of the year, but it's as if Georgia wants to kick us out a little faster.

How was your winter mild? Up here, that means we got very little precipitation and temps were above normal. Both of these were not good for northern Mother Nature. Does a mild winter in Georgia just mean warmer than usual temps? If so, and you got normal or more than normal rainfall, then yes, that combination, unlike ours, would be good for Mutha Nature (and her nefarious byproducts).

OTOH, your mild winter might just mean an early Spring followed by an early Summer. Which sounds like the lesser of two evils and may mean pollen season will soon be over. Let us hope this is the case.

Wet and reasonably warm, so yeah, bonanza for the plants. It's a little better today and I am cautiously hopeful.
