Yellow dust
Robert Brady at Pureland Blogger (Living in Japan) wrote about the yellow dust everywhere outside his mountain home in Japan:(click on title for link)
" Then I remembered all the yellow days in Tokyo back in the seventies when I lived there, the kousa days that came in early Spring, when the high winds lifted up the dust from the Gobi Desert in China and blew it all the way to Japan. I hadn't noticed it this far south before, but here it was, dusting everything a light yellow, including me."
Here in Atlanta, Georgia we have had the "yellow dust" of a different variety for about 10 days now. The pollen count has been over 5000's for many days and over 150 is rated extremely high.The pollen is from pine trees and also oak beech and several others. I have a problem with this pollen getting into my chest and making me extremely hoarse if I am out for any length of time.
But yesterday and today we had some wonderfully heavy rain which is washing away the yellow stuff.
Glory be to God for small favors.

Last week, they were trimming some ornamental bush at the foot of my building and just passing by, I started choking. It took me half an hour in the quiet of my tightly closed flat to recover.
I didn't use to have allergies.
I read Claude's post about it too, Chancy. The pine trees are surely doing their thing well this year! But I read that it isn't the pine tree pollen that makes us sick - it is smaller pollen from other things.
Fortunately I am not bothered by pollen. We are still waiting here for all things green and yellow.
