Recondo 101 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Here in the SE you can tell when spring has sprung. The pine trees celebrate the sun with a gift, yellow pine pollen. On a pine tree farm, at its height, it looks like yellow fog and covers everything for weeks. Ma Nature just dumps what she has, no real control valve, just bang you got it. Break out the Tylenol and Kleenex. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olfart Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It'll be here shortly after the snow melts, I'm sure. The powder snow being blown out of the trees looked like pollen exploding from the trees as the wind shook it loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recondo 101 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 It was 25 here Thursday morning, supposed to be 70 this coming Thursday. The first stop on the rain in months, will be two weeks of dry sunshine. Another thing Ma is, is impatient. We are like a flea on a big dog’s rump, Ma has a timetable and we are just along for the ride. Reminds me of a Stephen Crane work: A man said to the universe: ”Sir, I exist” “However,” replied the universe, ”The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the pine trees here keep the air yellow for a steady two weeks. It’s just a yellow fog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepper Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Spring rains in Oregon are the only things that make fir tree pollen bearable. If there's weeks worth of sunshine during that time, it's a yellow fog and absolutely miserable. The rains at least keep it wet down and congealing on surfaces. Have to pressure wash the cars every year in late spring to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampy Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Never seen such pollen, I need to get out more often...... Im tired of the 60+ mph winds shaking the house for the last 24 hours and pollen or snow would be a welcome relief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpo Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I hate that crap. It gets all over everything. When I get in the car I have to run the wipers to get it off the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
