Monday, 1:08 PM – It is that time of year again when all allergy sufferers are miserable. That greenish-yellow dust is spread everywhere and on everything. Every spring, the air becomes hazy with blowing swaths of pine pollen. The tips of every pine branch are swollen with bright yellow pollen producing cones. After a rain, rivers of yellow run. And when the puddles dry, the pollen remains behind.
