You can tell that it's fall in Texas, by all those yellow booms on the ragweed. :ROFL:

I don't know Tex I spent a year living in Austin and I think the only thing that changed colors was the dust... :lol:

That's because the pollen causes the dust to change color with the seasons. We have ragweed in the fall, cedar in the winter, oak and other trees in the spring, and grasses, (combined with mold), in the summer. It amounts to a year-round "smorgasbord" for hay-fever sufferers. :lol:

Tanya,

I can remember, back in the good old days, (when I was a kid, and pollen levels weren't a part of every weather forecast), when everyone used to brag about all the clean, cool, fresh air that these dry fall northers bring to the state. It finally dawned on us that it's main purpose is to scatter pollen for hundreds of miles from the sources, and the drier the air, the more pollen it usually contains. :sigh:
