"Rose" by Anahata Joy Katkin
Today my throat feels like this, full of bits and pieces, iron shavings, burning embers........and I definitely don't love who I am! I had no voice this morning but as it's gradually croaked back to almost normal this evening I think it was the pollen, not a cold or bug. Living in the South, the visual loveliness of Spring blossoms makes one pay the price, and the beauty is not skin deep, it creeps down your throat, up your nose and plays with your head.
The good news is that Google and Picasa have decided to allow me to continue to upload images to my blog............today my paid for in March storage appeared in my account at long last! I guess they did read my e-mails full of whines and whinges. Perhaps my words "elderly lady, non techie" etc. struck a chord within one of those smart young technical guys or gals - thanks so much!

Hi Mary, I know how you feel sweetie, I just fought that battle!! I do hope that you feel better soon and I'm so glad that you can load photos again, I love them!! xxoo, Dawn
ReplyDeleteYour photos - hooray!
ReplyDeleteYour throat - dagnabit! I'm so sorry to hear you're unwell. That's some powerful pollen. Poor lass, take care.
Oh my, sorry to hear the pollen is hitting you hard! Hot tea and lemon might feel good.....oops! I'm not sure I should say that to you! Is that sacrilegious or is lemon allowed?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, glad you can upload pictures again :-)
((hugs)) Rosie
So glad that you are able to upload your photos again!
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry that you are having allergy problems...me too :-(...
Get better soon, my friend!
Hugs,
Penny
What a curse being allergic to pollen! Almost as annoying as computer problems. I hope you are feeling better soon XXX
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother always used to give me a very hot drink of fresh lemons mixed with honey and very hot water. It's very soothing.
ReplyDeleteThe pollen is definitely a nasty thing around this area. We have suffered with it mightily this year, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Thank goodness we have had all this rain. I do believe that has helped the pollen situation.
Yay! I was hoping you would get the Google thing straightened out. Your pix are always so great.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the allergies. Hang in there.
Wow, may the combination of pollen allergies, mosquito bites and strained shoulders sort themselves out very soon, bringing you back to a healthy state of well being!
ReplyDeleteI notice you list "The Ginger Tree" among your favorite books...I first became aware of Oswald Wynd's story years ago when PBS showed a production of it on television, and then I searched for a copy of the book. It is a fascinating story; I loved it.
I am sorry that your spring is being spoiled by pollen. I don't have much trouble, except for milkweed and dillweed. I think they are related. As long as I stay out of certain gardens and the Missouri River bottoms (meadows full of milkweed) I am okay. Our next door neighbors have a huge linden tree, one of the few in Bismarck or all of ND. Thank god I am not allergic to that. Even so, when it blooms its yellow blossoms are so heavily scented they almost make me sick to my stomach.
ReplyDeleteWhat a whimsical picture! I love it!
ReplyDeleteBeing a singer, I have dealt with bronchial laryngitis more times than I care to count. I hate it when I temporarily lose the communication of my voice. Of course, I always find some way to make up for it. Thank God for blogging!
