When do you feel most productive?
Spring. How I love you. The Earth is waking up. Trees and flowers are blooming. Gray, depressing days move out for days full of birds and sunshine. *deep breath* Beautiful.
Tuesday, I’m sitting in the doctor’s office, my sinuses full of “love dust” aka pollen. The doctor puts his hand and his hip and say, “it’s beautiful outside. The sun is shining. Weather is getting warmer. You want to sit out there and soak it up. Don’t. Don’t go out there.” As hard as it is, he has a point. My black car looks dirty yellow it has so much “love dust” on it.
How to be productive when the pollen count is 10.6 and the doctor said “no, don’t go?”
I did the one outside thing that ‘had’ to be done, early. Before the 82 degree day gets into full swing. Made 2 little strawberry beds for the plants I bought at Wal-Mart yesterday.
How does this qualify for my Waste not. Want not series? The wood I used for the beds I already had at the house.
Pollen referred to as “love dust”, I heard from Southern comic Matt Mitchell.

Cool strawberry beds. Hope the pollen count goes down soon.

Thanks. Me too. In true whiners style, the pollen count will go down, then we get smacked in the face with humidity. Can’t win. 🙃

We’ve had a relatively cool year so far. I have a feeling it’s not going to last much longer.

Forecast models have predicted a hotter than normal for us. 😳 I’m okay with the heat. If I just knew how to tell the humidity to go younder.

It sounds like you’re enjoying the beauty of spring, despite the pollen! Getting outdoor tasks done early seems like a smart strategy. -ArConsultings.org

That’s how my grandparents did it. Outside work was always done early. Smart cookies, our elders. Thanks for stopping by. 💕

Something in the air has been doing me a disservice too. Allergies. Blah! But facemasks do help. I can’t like posts, so consider this my like. 🙂

I’m having an issue liking posts as well. Especially if there’s a link to click on. 😢 Yes, I have been wearing masks when I have to be outside; working or taking Chico out. Hope your allergies don’t run away with you. 🙏🏻
