Allergy season is in full swing and my little boy has been caught up in the constant struggle with itchy watery eyes and runny nose. Central Florida is expecting rain today and weather man don't let me down! Yesterday we went outside and our cars were covered in oak pollen... Troy's arch nemesis... and only one thing gets rid of this all this pollen... a good soaking rain.
The oak pollen keeps us stuck indoors for a good portion of March thru April. Unless we are doing a water activity we are pretty much indoors during this allergy season. Yes, Troy is on plenty of daily allergy medicines but nothing seems to be a match for oak pollen. These tiny little things stick themselves to clothes, shoes, even the dog.
They cover the sidewalks in our neighborhood, the cars, everywhere. It's such a beautiful time of year in Florida, everything is green and lush while the rest of the country is still "recovering" from winter we are almost to summer. So today we sing a new twist on rain, rain go away....
Rain, Rain, Come today,
Come and Wash this Pollen Away,
Little Troy, Wants to Play,
Rain, Rain, Come today.
So today we will stay inside, do some schoolwork, laundry, and lots of playing, maybe a trip to the produce stand, but we will love every ounce of this rain that falls from the sky.
