6. Pollenmageddon! I love it!

Mar 2012

I just went to Umstead Park during my lunch break and my shoes are now yellow. It's unreal.

The news last night had a story about it. They said that things that normally start blooming right now are blooming, and things that normally wait a little later in the Spring when it's warmer are blooming too, due to the higher than normal temperatures. That's why there's so much of the yellow crud.

Now, if only the fish would start biting.
