Spring is on its Way!

We were back to school today. I had no absences, although many of my students are experiencing some pretty sever asthma conditions, Many of my teacher friends were also going through the same issues. The pollen index is relatively low.. 38 today. Still there ware a lot a people out of breath, sneezy itchy eyes the dry cough.

This afternoon the sun is shinning and there is very little breeze. The pluots are in total bloom. I have not been around any almond trees but they could the the cause to this kind of allergic attack.

My two little plout trees, the 5 in lone and the big green/yellow one are giving it all in homes of attracting a bee or two.luots are a cross between a plum and an apricot. I am not really sure that they need to have bees to pollinate. As Alan Wilson the beekeeper and farmer's market man says, the bees have a great union. They only work when the weather is warm and dry. We are finally headed for some dry weather this week. The high today was supposed to be in the low 60's. Spring may be on its way!
