Say that 3 times! I have this large pine tree in the corner of my deck which provides wonderful shade
But not so wonderful
Pollen
Fortunately the pollen falls for just a few days. Since we had a good rain last evening, it may have knocked most of it down already. . . crossing my fingers that that is the case...because this stuff is a real mess.
Hello Zoey.... I’m pleased you found my blog and I thank you for the comment you left about my painted furniture. I’m so pleased with how light it has made the conservatory look, I’m now thinking of my next project, that of painting the tongue & grooved in the hall.
I can see what you mean about the falling pollen, I hope you don’t suffer from hay-fever. Marion
Ugh, I have the same problem with our pine trees...every morning I have to go wash off all the pollen off the patio tables and chairs and then by afternoon it's covered again! Even on the cars you can see a layer of yellow all the time.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.
