Streets of the South are Paved in Gold

It was early spring when one of my friends, who recently moved from a place known as "Not From Around Here", called me in alarm."What," she asked, "is that yellow stuff all over the road?"My friend was concerned that some horrible toxic waste spill had occurred while she slept.
I reassured her (after laughing at her, which was fun for me), and explained that it was pollen. It is quite common to find a yellow film on anything outsitde during the early spring, from cars to patio furniture, to boats and pets.
Each year I have to spend an afternoon cleaning everything on my screened porch, for the pollen dust floats right in between the screens. Already this year I've noticed a bit appearing on my patio table. I think I'll cover things up with some old sheets for a few weeks.
Happy Spring, everyone!Visit my website for more tips and information about Living in Lake Wylie! Also, check out some of the fantastic values in Lake Wylie real estate. Several delightful lake cabins available for under $500k!
