Cleaning up the Yard. (Pix)

[Rebbetzin]

A few times a year, our city picks up any tree branches and brush we leave at the curb. Yesterday, I trimmed the trees and bushes, it took me from noon to 4:00pm! . I got a huge pile of stuff!

One of the trees in the front yard is a Rhus Lancea. http://arboretum.arizona.edu/taxa/Rhus_lancea.html

Right now it is blooming, I climbed up on a ladder to get some of the branches that are hanging over the roof of the carport. I got covered in the tiny yellow flowers that are very sticky with pollen! Here is the top of my head, AFTER I tried to get the flowers off!

Here is how thick they were in my hair.

It took shampooing it twice, and then combing it with a bunch of conditioner on it to get rid of the flowers. They were thick on the bottom of the shower!

On a happier note, the small garden bed by the new chicken run is starting to fill in. I can hardly wait until it begins to bloom.

That 3rd pic looks like your hair was blooming. It's pretty.

I would have been tempted to leave them in.
