Aaaachoo!



Allergies are the worst. They take a perfectly beautiful Virginian day and turn it into the most miserable load of crud ever. I end up inside, with the windows closed, on the couch with an ice pack on my head. I don't get the sneezing, but instead massive sinus pressure/headache and itchy eyes. It's been pretty rough here for the past two weeks and I'm on a daily regimen of Flonase, Claratin, and over-the-counter sinus/allergy every four hours. Still feeling rough.

Despite the misery that accompanies allergy season, we still get to witness the most beautiful plants and flowers. Miss Annie brought me some peonies from her garden to congratulate me on graduation. Aren't they GORGEOUS?!?! I want peonies at the wedding - too bad they don't bloom until May or I'd just go cut a whole bunch from Martha and Annie's garden and use those. :-) She brought me a ton - they're sprinkled all over the house. I refuse to let a little headache keep me away from these beauties.

Forgive my amateur photography, I'm playing with my old Canon point-and-shoot while I wait for my Nikon to come back in stock. (B-day/graduation present from my parents, my brother, Chris's parents, Chris and myself). :-)
