We think we finally figured out that the pollen was back with a bad attitude today. From the first thing this morning it has been a BAD day and tonight it is still pretty miserable. We struggled with where to walk today and finally decided that the Municipal Park would be the least mess. And it was a good choice even if we felt really nasty bad.
We parked and actually got in a nice half mile walk around the big pond but that was about all the OFM could handle in spite of the dope inside him. (Loratadine)
Here is the picture of the nice bench at the east end of the ponds (old borrow pits or sand pits).
There is a nice section of the path near the parking lot and viewing pier that has an S curve and most of the time the bench here is really nice viewing. It makes a nice meandering view of the pathway.
This back portion of the park is allowed to be free growth and truly naturalized for now. Within ten years they are hoping to expand the trails by a few more loops and neat scenes for us visitors. We think it will be a great expansion if it happens.
In the natural part there are lots of entwining of limbs between all the vegetation types.
Here is an example of the oaks trees intermingling for control of the ground space available.
Then to get on a smaller scale here is a picture of the smaller shrubs and oaks fighting for right of way in the area.
We are headed for extra rest tonight we hope. Getting a GOOD fresh start on trying to have tooooo much fun would be good.
I've found that allergy meds that worked one year might not work the next so I'm ready to swap to a different med if the one I'm taking is not doing it this year.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that info.
DeleteIn 1990 a doctor on Whidbey Island recommended Walmarts Equate Allergy Relief tablets for my allergies. I have been taking them ever since when needed. Bought a new bottle yesterday and they had gone up on price $3.86 per 100. If you try them, make sure the main ingredient is Chlorpheniramine Maleate ... they have different allergy relief tablets but all have different main ingredient. Take you magnifying glass with you because it will be the only way to read the label. Not drowsy and works fast.
ReplyDeleteWalmart keeps the readers in the pharmacy too! (in case you forgot your magnifying glass).
DeleteLOL ... thanks, good info
DeleteThose intertwining branches would make a good art study.
ReplyDeleteYes they do.
