Pollen + Car = new paint job

So Mother Nature emptied her dustbuster on the neighborhood and covered everything in a fine layer of yellow pollen. Though I enjoyed the new color of my car, I also totally appreciate the fact that she turned on the water works yesterday to give everything a shower. Unfortunately, that might screw up some outdoor plans for the next few days, but if it keeps the temperature down, lets the new grass grow, and sets the future up for some nice gardens, I'll be OK with that. Now, if I could only get the gutters fixed so they aren't bowing in the middle...
