Partly windy with chance of pollen

On the road again, this time for a brief visit to Kentucky, where all kinds of interesting things are blooming and pollen is flying visibly through the air but I am no longer coughing, sniffling, sneezing, or otherwise experiencing nasal discomfort. Meanwhile, back home, where the ground is still winter-brown and the trees are skeletal, I couldn't make a move without carrying a jumbo-size box of tissues. Who can explain it? After supper I'll pack the young men into the car and head home, where perhaps I'll find a foot of snow or, I don't know, a plague of locusts. Spring: the season of possibilities.
