Here in Central Alabama it is just getting spun up. The pine pollen and the pollen from the blooming Dogwood trees was lightly dusting things, but we've had some rain on and off which has kept some of it down. This time of year sucks trying to keep anything left outdoors clean.

You are 100% correct -- the pine pollen in Southeast Texas is more than a nuisance. It turns white cars yellow, yellow cars orange, and does so in the minute you back it out of the garage. Only thing worse is the freakin' love bugs ---- they will plaster the front of the car and windshield. Get ready, they are on the way. TG they don't like the climate here in Colorado.
