Yesterday was what the Japanese call 春一番 Haru ichiban...
Shall I say, the first strong wind to mark the start of the spring season?
The winds were, well, howling the whole day and night...
At the individual level, it means the start of the running nose season for yours truly...
In other words, yes, the pollens from the Japanese ceder trees are starting to burst and fly...
Anyway, took today off from work...
It's been a while since I walked the hills with my sweeto haato...
And woah... the daffodils by the hillsides...
Their fragrance... their simplicity... their beauty...
Meanwhile, the nose, oooh... the eyes, itchy...
And... aaaacccchuuunnggg!!
Take care. Don't sneeze too much! ;)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I can succeed in 'aborting' but sometimes not...
DeleteWooo... so admire you there. Our weather here is so hot and like oven.
ReplyDeleteYes, I do appreciate the weather here in Takamatsu...
DeleteYou have my sympathy for the nose...because our winter was mild I believe we had pollen all winter...my eyes watered, my nose ran, I coughed, I sneezed, it seemed for months on end.
ReplyDeleteThe daffodils so beautiful...the yellowy orange against the white! And they smell so good!
owwhh... bless you.. hope u'll getting better.. stay indoor ok.. no matter how inviting those flowers and cool weather are! ;)
ReplyDeleteactually i've been trying to leave comment few times but no 'comment' button seen.. until just now when i decided to click on 'reply'... :)
Thank you... but even with the running nose and sneezing, I love to be outdoors... it is too nice to be indoors...
DeleteHow beautiful and unique. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, coco...
DeleteWow, to be able to walk the hills with your suweeto haato under such beauty is really a blessing despite the cold. The daffodils are lovely!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the beauty... the cold is just a little price to pay for it...
DeleteGorgeous daffodils! For us, the allergy season should start soon!
ReplyDeleteLooks like there will be much sneezing at your place as well soon?
DeleteHi Lrong,
ReplyDeleteI just learned that if you take pure raw unfiltered honey from your area(1-2 tsp/day), it will help strenghten your allergy defenses and support your body's natural immune response.
Love the daffodils....that rich yellow marry with white.....simply gorgeous
Am now in Perth... visited Fremantle last Saturday and could not resist buying some un-processed raw honey... even if they do not help me with the hay fever, I think I will enjoy eating them...
DeletePretty flowers. You need to take some Claratyne tablets. Can you buy them where you live?
ReplyDeleteClaratyne tablets? Hmm, shall check them out later on and see...
