Shakin my Fist at All This Pollen

Yesterday I came home and it was 75 degrees outside. Perfect day to mow my lawn. Afterwards, I still had energy and I wanted to wash my car, after all, I haven't see her all prettied up since almost 2 months ago. So I wash my car, wax it (only had the time and energy to hand wax the roof, hood, and trunk), polish the chrome hubcaps, and scrub my tires (to get the white line to sparkle). Cleaned all the windows and used the moisturizer on the vinyl roof. Even vacuumed inside.

Well, I wake up this morning, while sipping my coffee I look outside... THERE'S A MILLIMETER OF YELLOW POLLEN COVERING MY ENTIRE BLACK PAINT JOB. Needless to say I walked out side and attempted to wipe all the pollen off with a microfiber towel, keyword attempted.

Palo. Power went out for 2 1/2 hours from the wind. No ice yet, hopefully we don't get any.

Kyle, I remember having that much energy when I were younger.

Were still a few of weeks from getting this pollen fall out. Old Man winter is not done with us yet, might get snow for the third Sunday in a row..for April.

We get a couple of nice days, and then back to the freezer!
