It’s that time of year again when I constantly have to blow my nose and clear my throat. On top of that, I always seem to have a persistent slight headache and sinus pressure. For as long as I can remember, spring hits me hard. I know this. But every spring, I’m always taken aback by how miserable I am.
This is my first spring back in Massachusetts in eight years. I’d forgotten how much more I suffer in the Bay State. My first spring in Boston back in 2007 knocked me on my ass, and I was prescribed three types of allergy meds. The combination only alleviated the symptoms to make spring bearable.
I’m back on the three medicines, and it’s possible there’s some whining involved.
Given my track record with spring, you may think it’s my least favorite season. It’s not. The opposite, actually. It’s one of my favorite times of the year. While I can’t have fresh flowers in my home ever, I absolutely love them.
Here are some photos of spring flowers. They’re so pretty it’s impossible to hate them.
Great photos!
Aw, thanks!
I love the photos, TB! At least they won’t make you suffer!
Very true. One of the reasons I take a ton of photos of flowers.
Terrific photos. Sorry about your allergies. Have you tried shots. I did and I now enjoy spring.
I haven’t tried shots. I should mention needles creep me out. I used to get monthly blood tests and I think I’m still recovering from the trauma.
Wow! Those flowers are absolutely stunning. So sorry to hear about your allergies, though! That’s tough. :/
Aw, thanks Heather. I’m adjusting to the allergies and I’m still enjoying the flowers from a safe distance.
