Nothing to Sneeze At
The oak pollen here in San Antonio is everywhere. Sunday's count was about 40,000 grains per cubic meter of air. That's absurd.
I'm the allergy queen, but I'm fortunate that I don't over-react to pollen of any sort. It affects me a little - mostly with itchy eyes - but it's way down on the scale of things that make my body throw hissy fits.
Oak pollen here means Fiesta can't be far behind. I blogged a little about the annual Fiesta San Antonio last year. The link isn't to any of my posts but to the site for this year's celebration.
Fiesta is a fun time in San Antonio, and the events are citywide. It's right upon us this year, but if you're thinking about an April vacation next year, think about San Antonio.
Come celebrate with us!

The pollen usually give me itchy eyes too. Here it's mostly the pine pollen that gets me.
Have fun!

Aubrie - My allergies are year-round, but I can keep them pretty much under control here. San Antonio is an awesome city, but don't come here in the summer unless you love hot weather. Any other time of the year is perfect.
Joanne - I've heard of the local honey remedy, too, but I've never tried it. Yet :)
Helen - Come on down!
Alex - Bless you!
Ann Elle - Fiesta is every April, but all kinds of other things are held year-round. We're a busy city.
Jayne - Welcome to the Tiki Hut! The oak pollen on Sunday was the heaviest recorded in more than 25 years. Here are today's counts:
Oak-11270-Heavy
Mold-410-Light
Willow-20-Light
Pine-20-Light
Pecan-20-Light
Fiesta sounds brilliant!
I've never been to San Antonio. Would love to visit!
Elspeth - I hope you make it to San Antonio one year. You'll love it.
Talli - Thanks for commenting. Fiesta is fantastic.
VR - My cousin lives in NC and she said that pine pollen coats everything. No pines in San Antonio - come on over!
Devon - Lots of places to use for setting here. The city's grown in 15 years, but it hasn't lost its charm.
