Spring has sprung, God help those with allergies

Spring is here, and while I welcome the warmer weather and the removal of several layers of long underwear, I have to admit I will miss the one benefit of Old Man Winter: NO ALLERGIES. I love the fact that between October and April there is no horrible smell of fresh cut grass to make a person sneeze, no pollen floating on a warming breeze, no reawakening of pesky mosquitoes to bite me, and on spring cleaning to make the dust as thick as pea soup. The flowers are pretty, but artificial ones are so much friendlier to an allergy sufferer. Summer only brings unbearable heat, tornadoes, and endless, mundane picnics to dull the senses. Fall is a time of cleanup, and rejoicing at the up coming Winter season. Spring is just a pain. Sorry to all your spring lovers, but Spring just sucks.
