BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Inspiration Where are you and how is the weather?

In the American west where I am, it's 70 F / 21 C and partly cloudy with a strong warmish breeze. Lots of mulberry pollen and dirt blowing around!

Val,

I can understand you on the dirt! Here when there's no snow or water on the ground there's dirt everywhere, it's like I live in a desert and since I have a phobia about eyes and anything bad happening to them that has me freaking out! I found a pair of sunglasses on the internet where everything seems closed like goggles, I hope when that arrives it is just like the picture so I can walk in peace when it's not raining or snowing!

I hear you about the eyes, Nancy. Mine have just been streaming from all the pollen and dirt. It gets like this and I don't even want to go outside in it even though the temps are moderate. I hope you get your sunglasses soon!

Val,

Thankfully (well that sucks so i should not use that word...lol) the only allergy I have is nuts so that does not affect my eyes.

I received the sunglasses today and they are just like the picture so I finally have something to protect my eyes entirely. That shipment came in two different packages, I am still waiting for two things, when they will arrive I will buy the other pair (there were just 2 when i bought 1...did not want to risk it eventhough they are not high priced).

That's good you received the sunglasses! We actually had some rain out here later in the afternoon (and we almost never get rain), which knocked all the dust and pollen out of the air. Everything smells clean now.

Val,

We had lots of rain too the previous days, that gave me a few days of being able to walk relaxed but today the streets were dry.

I love rain so for me it's happy time when it rains.

I love rain, too. It almost never happens out here in the desert relatively near the Mexican border, which makes it a rare treat. Love the way it makes the air smell.

Yesterday before my walk it was partly cloudy and windy off/on. During my walk it was partly cloudy, windy on/off and raining off/on. After my walk it was the same.

The night was windy off/on.

When I went to bed it was calm.

When I got up it was partly cloudy and windy on/off.

It's 68F/20C and partly cloudy, looking like possible rain. What's up with this? It never rains here. Not that I'm complaining. The plants can use it and so can we.

Thanks Nancy & Val for keeping this one going.

I love rain too.

Mother Nature is busy making corrections everywhere.

Chicago's weather is perfect for me; 62F and sunny w/a lovely light breeze. Day to day it alternates between weather like this and hot & rainy weather. I love Spring in Chicago!

Farmer's Market was awesome today. Fresh herb plants (basil, thyme, oregano, & cilantro), lovely organic garlic, onions, greens& asparagus. I also love my Amish Farmers, the Wettstein Family. I bought beautiful eggs and steak from them today. Looking forward to a lovely week of healthy eating.
