Pea, allergies! -- scratchy throat, watery eyes, runny nose, sneeze, cough, wheeze, yuk -- but with the beauty of season you describe who cares? -- there is joy in the air as well as those nasty allergens --so be up and about and enjoy while we can -- your inspiration was a strange one but your poem is a gem -- I bid you joy, love and peace my dear friend -- Jon Michael

Soon the threaten of pollen attacks will be over and we'll bask on ice. Good work, Phyllis.

Ah viewing the world through snot green colored lenses. Did you know most colorblind people don't see green? Count your blessings:-) Patrick

PS...I too have been snotting around for almost 3 weeks and can relate.

Pea,
i like this light touch guide through
colour and time of year but the ole sneezes
are a pain in the ...nose, aren't they just!
Take care, Delightful Lady.

Awww, Pea, I am sorry that you are suffering with allergies, that is always so miserable. They say eating honey from local beekeepers works wonders in eliminating environmental allergies,but of course, it needs to be a daily routine, not just in allergy season. Flip-side, who doesn't love toast and honey for breakfast,hmm? From what I understand, it works like a homeopathic remedy...anyway, I loved all the fall images you captured in your wonderful poem. Almost made me long for some fallen leaves to rake...soon enough that will be my reality then I will be cursing each little crunch beneath my feet. I hope you feel better soon. Happy Halloween...hey, you could dress up as one of the Seven Dwarfs; you could be Sneezy, I will, as always, be Dopey.
Take care,
Sherry

Sometimes, it's predictable and I know what I'm allergic to, but sometimes it's unexpected and hard to find the cause. So, it's good that you know... The season sounds fun.

I have the same symptoms as you, but took an allergy test a few years ago and found out that I'm not allergic to any of the usual suspects, including ragweed. So, it may just be the change in the weather. Like you have described, I love the changes this time of year, rarely seen in Houston where the drought has rendered everything a golden brown of death.

Cheers! Ron

Your note is almost as entertaining as your poem. I loved the exaggerations! (but not without pity for the suffering subject)
Otherwise, it's a most enjoyable write which makes Autumn much more palatable to summer-fans like myself.
