Ugh..I love spring but not my allergies :o
Jon has bad allergies this time of year. He could out snore a bear right now.
Our apple trees are covered with leaves and blooms. I have everything crossed we dont get any frost. The red delicious were wonderful last year.

The trees are so pretty right now.
They have a magnolia tree on each corner of this building. Very pretty and great smell but hard on the allergies. Jon's Dad has 8 apple trees and 1 pear tree at his place. They are so pretty when they are blooming. He bought a cherry tree a few days ago and put it out. I think he plans to put me to work canning cherries.

I just got the two fig trees I'd ordered last week, Janie. But I'm afraid to put them out. I just know we're going to have a late frost---despite the 70 degrees it is right now.

I have a lot of allergies too, along with allergy induced asthma.
Most I can avoid, cats, most dogs, mold and dust. The only plants here that get to me are cedar when pollinating or cut cedar and rhododendrons.
when I worked in a flower shop had little problem as long as I washed my hands lots and was careful about touching eyes.
that said, from what I understand allergy tests and shots are very accurate now. forty years or so ago, it was hard to narrow down what bothered people. But now I have heard the shots are specific and really work. Not sure if you have to start them before the season?
take care you little sniffler,
Nan
