Despite the fact that we have had
consistent daytime highs of over
30C for a month now and we feel
parched and dry, it is worth it to
leave the house.
Even if leaving the house makes
me itch uncontrollably, because
it’s allergy season for me.
And the beautiful golden
wheat fields just down the street
have caused my allergies to act up.
Are yours as bad as mine?
When they harvest the wheat the dust floats on the ever so hot air, and I itch, all over.
We try to keep the windows shut all day during the heat, but we like to open them late at night for fresh air.
I like fresh air, I don’t like itch. I know, don’t open the windows then, but I really can’t stand air conditioning.
It was so worth it to take the camera out for a spin, even if the open windows of the truck made me itch. Watching the sun set through those trees, and the fields turn caramel was so worth it.
Now please pass the antihistamine.

U nas też upały trudne do wytrzymania. Na szczęście nie mam alergii i mogę spacerować po Twoich pięknych miejscach pokazanych na zdjęciach, bez problemów. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteWe also heat unbearable. Luckily I do not have allergies, and I can walk on your beautiful places shown in the pictures, no problems. Yours.
Depends on the season with the allergies...ragweed is about to flower so it will be allergy time for me....my eyes itch and water so much I can barely open them...
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful, peaceful photos. Thank you for venturing out into 'itchland'.

Wow. The photos are gorgeous. Worth the itch, I'd say, but then I am lucky not to have allergies. Here the wheat fields are miles away, but corn is just down the road. Silage corn is left to dry before it is cut, creating a lot of dust in the air. I don't itch, but my sinuses get plugged. As you, I like sleeping with the windows open. Thankfully harvest is seasonal and we do survive.
ReplyDeleteAs I aged, my August (fall) alergies have have decreased. Oh, but do I ever remember the days when I prayed for a hard freeze. Good luck with it all. Love you photos!!
ReplyDeleteHope your allergies pass soon, so you can get out and open the windows. I am enjoying having the air conditioner off and the windows open too :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got out to capture these lovely scenes. Remarkable -
ReplyDeleteJen girl .. sorry about the itching .. I know it must be so aggravating physically and mentally .. but wow on those pictures .. they are dreamy and peaceful. I have a constant DRIP .. and it is so embarrassing at times dragging kleenex out all the time and trying to say something ? eeuuww !
ReplyDeleteSo lets hope for cold fresh air without pollen SOON !!!!

After years of congestion, sneezing, watery eyes, and going through boxes of tissues, I broke down and went to an allergist for a skin test. It appears that I am allergic to nearly every pollen and spore in addition to cats and horses. It looks like my battle will continue to be year round. Thankfully, no itching is involved.
ReplyDeleteTake good care, and thanks for venturing into the open for the gorgeous photos.
Jen, beautiful captures, sorry you have to deal with the itch. Spring is bad for me. Have a good day! :-))
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Zyrtec? It comes in a generic form (Allertec) at Costco. I take one every night and it helps me a lot!
Our church has been passing the benadryl around....itch and scratch and sneeze...sigh
ReplyDeleteThese are such pretty pics, Jen. This is allergy season for me, also. Each Monday, when the guys cut our grass, I have to stay in and keep the windows closed. Like you, I enjoy fresh air through an open window!
ReplyDeleteYep, same issues here. My allergies usually hit in mid-Summer--I've always associated them with Corn tasseling. But everything is later this year. Once the Corn is done and the mold settles down, I'm usually OK. Gorgeous photos--definitely worth the sniffles. But I hope you get some relief soon.
ReplyDeletePoor you to have such terrible allergies, it must take some of the fun out of summer.
ReplyDeleteThis has been a terrible allergy season for me so I can really sympathize with you. I itch and can't breathe. It's not fun. Especially for those of us who love to be outdoors and hate A/C. Hope yours passes soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Laura
what a relief to have cooler temps the last couple of days. I even made soup LOL.

My allergies have been going nuts too. Isn't it awful?!?! But I still can't help but go out in the garden. Like you said... it's worth it.
