Home Is Where My Heart Is

Hayfever

I just love spring here in Pennsylvania.  Our homestead is blooming and buzzing, and new life is all around me.  Why, even just this morning I was so pleased to discover three baby bunnies in a nest constructed by my favorite doe, Posey!!  Spring is a wonderful time.....that is, all except for my hayfever!  I can't remember a year when my hayfever has been worse than it is this spring.  I am mostly allergic to tree pollen.  How ironic is it that I'm allergic to tree pollen when trees are my favorite plants?!!  I have planted countless trees on our homestead over the past 17 years, and I guess that's what's contributed to my bad hayfever...but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I don't understand why I have been blessed with my hayfever.  But Our Father, in His infinite wisdom has decided that it is best for me.  I know that suffering with hayfever makes me so thankful to Him that I am not suffering with anything more serious.  He is always good, and I thank Him for all His provisions....good and bad.  I am also thankful that my children don't really suffer with allergies as I do.

Well, I need to get back to our schoolwork.  We're finishing up our next-to-last week of school for this year.  I can't believe that we have almost completed nine years of our homeschool adventure.  My oldest Dear One (Rachel) has been graduated from our homeschool for a year already, and she is doing SO well in her chosen career as a veterinary assistant/veterinary technician in training.  Thanks for stopping by my blog and for taking the time to read my ramblings.  I pray your hayfever isn't too bad today!!

Love in Christ, Cherylann

me too!

CherylAnn,

I too have hayfever...... athought not as bad as years past...... I love the outdoors too and even though I do have to shower after coming in from outdoors, I am thankful for the beauties of creation! I have allergies to the ragweed...... it lasts a few weeks more into the middle of june and then I am usually over them. Have you tried lavendar oil? It helps so much!

Love to read your blog ~ you have a wonderful perspective on things!

I have a tip. I heard that if you will eat honey that was taken from bees that are with-in a 25 mile radius of where you live that it will make your allergies alot better! Have to give it a try! Love, Tina
