Having 4 acres of grass can really take it's toll on a girl with allergies...especially when it's compounded with a laurel tree in the middle of the yard that is shedding pollen pods all over the ground. I wasn't out much today, but when we ate dinner outside, I had to eat fast and run inside because my eyes were burning so badly. It feels like someone put sand in my eye lids. I can handle the sneezing and itchy mouth, but the itchy eyes make it hard to stay outside for long. After sitting in the AC for about 20 minutes I can once again open my eyes. I try to take natural herbs like stinging nettle for my allergies and that usually does the trick, but I think for the next couple weeks I might be better off indoors...which is really bad news for my garden.

Yuck-O...how miserable, at least it is going to be cloudy and rainy for the next few weeks. HAve you ever thought about getting allergy shots during this time of year...doesn't sound fun, but might help.
I got them when I was younger...and no, it's not fun!
