Pollen, pollen everywhere..There is no escaping pollen here is Albuquerque I don’t reckon, at least I have not found any safe place…Just when one thinks things are getting better, another uncaring plant starts spitting out it pollen, polluting the atmosphere with all that sneezy, nose running and itchy throat….and the roof of my mouth of all things, pollen…..miserable, that’s all you can say about it….I’m so tired of blowing my nose and sneezing I could just, well, just curse a little bit, like cursing the dad-blamed, no-good, cotton picking, fit for nothing pollen…but I won’t cause it’s part of the reproductive process… But, if you are like me, you are ready for spring to be over with and the plant birthing process to go on and get started….know what I mean, Vern…..
Pollen in albuquerque!!! That’s weird! I don’t remember any (or very little) in Albuquerque and central New Mexico, although I do remember quite alot at Glorieta in the spring. I only remember lots and lots of “enchantment” blowing around, especially in the afternoon and evening. I suppose it depends upon where one is. Didn’t Bill Clinton once say “…that it depends on the meaning of is.” I guess it does. I spent most of my time up in the high desert (Kirtland, Sandia, and Monsanto Bases–now all Kirtland) and other such places. I spent very little time down in the valley and along the river. I guess that is a good thing. That area sounds more like Alabama and Arkansas in the springtime.
There are plenty of us with allerigies around here whatever it is, is now producing…..
