Allergy alert

Portulacaria afra doesn't produce much pollen...

I'm having a rough morning. Allergies. Crying eyes, dripping nose. Sneezing. I hate when this happens. Maybe it won't last long. The weather woman (Valérie Maurice) on Télématin says a high pressure area (un anticyclone) is moving across France today. It's bringing a southerly flow, and that brings pollen that doesn't agree with me. Meanwhile, there's a hurricane in Florida! In November! Very weird.

  1. I, too, hate when that happens. Hope it passes quickly.

  2. Nicole, now a tropical storm, is lashing us with rain and wind here in central Florida. I hope your allergies improve.

  3. feel your allergy pain. It's been so warm here in NC that I've had same issues for a couple weeks. And to top it off that storm is heading our way tomorrow.

    1. My allergy symptoms didn't last much past noon yesterday, so I had a good afternoon and evening. That's a pattern here. I often have attacks that last 4 to 6 hours, whereas in California I had attacks that lasted 4 to 6 days or more.

  4. Nice elephant plant. Is that from the one chm gave you? Texas had tornados a few days ago, so warming everywhere.

  5. Yes, CHM brought me cuttings from his elephant bush 15 years ago, when we had just moved to France. I have another one that's about the same size as the one in the photo, and I have a larger one that I can take cuttings from to start more.
