What a great picture! I love tulips - they're so sweet. Spring flowers always seem so friendly and cheerful.
I can totally see how allergies would affect your opinion of Spring. Mine don't start to get bad until June, which I consider to be Summer, and usually only last the month, so they don't totally kill my enjoyment of the season. Allergies are awful, though. How long do your allergies last?
I appreciate positive posts, like this. Especially about spring, because I love everything about it.
This year, it already feels like summer to me, though. That might have something to do with the little heater inside me.
Also, I have noticed the beautiful, white blossoming trees (like popcorn!); they are so full and the fragrance is heavenly! The one I passed this morning made me think that's how Lehi's "tree of life" must have appeared.
Julie - My allergies usually run for a few months. Usually around 3 or 4. If I don't go outside so much, they don't bother me in the same way, but I feel the need to hike! I shouldn't complain so much, as they didn't start bothering me as early this year, just because we had some cold snaps, but still. No energy.
Thanks, Sarah!
I didn't have allergies till I was in Seattle, near all the cherry blossoms. When I moved back to UT I thought it'd go away but it was much worse, and I actually had to get antihystamine eyedrops because it looked like I had pinkeye all the time and always had to wear glasses, from April through August. Here, I seem just fine. Which should make spring nicer, but there aren't any trees or blossoms to see nearby, so it's a little sad. (maybe that's why there are no allergies?)
Tearese, I wonder if I would still have allergies where you are since there are grasses there? No trees or flowers, but grass! Allergies are so weird, and we are all so different.
