What you are seeing is a photo of a small contribution of the 5500+ pollen count that hit Walton County yesterday. I looked outside and was reminded of the Gobi Desert dust that would fly into Japan on a toxic front from China usually around February. This front would then rain yellow and brown dust and and leave us with burning eyes and sputtering coughs for maybe a day or two. But this, this is pollen. Nothing but pure, Carolina Pine pollen. This year us Millers are fine and not showing any allergic reactions but next year, well, can I say I'll just hold my breath?
Not art or is it?
I hope the fish are alive. Doug and Zelig
bought 10 goldfish from Walmart last night but
I don't see them down there. They are small.
I just hope they survive the next few days.
Speaking of ponds, Doug and friends finished the pond overhaul. It really needed a good cleaning too. The pond had to be drained to the last drop whereupon Doug and his junior helpers discovered LEECHES at the bottom. They found every one of them, I HOPE, a few frogs too. Finally they threw out the rest of the debris, rocks and pine straw, and got that pond clean and clear. Of course the photo above does not show a beautiful product but I hope you get the gist from the ones below.
Falling Waters III?
One of our friends took it upon herself to put the slabs back around the pond.
Thanks to all of our helpers on our pond re-do: Michael, Zelig, Thomas, Jolie and Terry. You all did a great job. You too Doug!

Leeches. Wow, that is so medieval! As for the pollen, my BIL who lives nearby says that when it rains during the pollen storm, the streets run yellow. Yikes, that makes my head hurt thinking about it.
