Weed Season
When we returned to MN from the east coast, 5yo Drake began to snuffle pathetically, and his eye itched and wept. I called my retired-allergist father and asked what had triggered these allergies. He said mid August was weed season, early evening was the worst time of day, and had a few recommendations:
Children’s Benadryl
Opcon A
Nasalcrom
Air conditioning rather than open windows.
He said weeding the yard wouldn’t make much of a difference, since week pollen travels quickly and for long distances. Which is good, because I’m no match for all the weeds in our tiny yard.

We’ve been limited to closed windows too. Open windows at night, while so refreshing, leave me completely stuffed up and sneezy all morning long.
