The pollen is in the air. I’ve heard several people mention sore throats, and I’ve got a vague sense that I could be in the very early stage of some sort of allergy attack, but it really is barely noticeable except when I was swallowing some water first thing this morning.

Over the weekend Marcella and I were observing how the cars have a green-yellow sheen from the pollen settling on them, and when I was riding my bike on Sunday at one point I saw a cloud that I at first mistook for smoke. When I realized it was actually a cloud of pollen falling through the air I almost sneezed just looking at it!
