Yellow, Yellow, Everywhere!!

We are in the midst of thousands of acres of beautiful pine and fir trees and we love it. But for a couple of weeks each spring, the pines pollinate and everything gets covered with the yellow powder.

Teri and I take loppers out with us on our bird box monitoring days to trim back limbs that are too close to the boxes or extending into the trails. Here are a couple of pictures of what that looked like this week.

Cutting a Branch.

Holding my Breath!!

So Much Pollen...

Are your eyes itching yet??

We even take a broom to our evening programs to sweep off the seats before folks arrive. This will all be over in a couple of weeks, and then (maybe) I'll wash the truck!!
