INVASION OF THE WHITE THINGS.





(No, not today's parade!).


These little white fluffy seeds have been blanketing the city for the past few weeks.

Sometimes, when the wind blows, it looks like a snowstorm.

Later, it collects in piles of fluff.

Apparently it comes from the Cottonwood Tree (and it's the female who spreads the seed).

I've never seen it this bad before.


Apparently the people with allergies are really suffering.







And it causes cats to become even more curious than usual.

  1. We have the same white, fluffy things here, but they're from the poplar trees, which are the thinner cousins of cottonwoods.

    I love your new blog! Great colors!

  2. Thank you, Vicki. You can use it on yours (Awesome Inc. template by Tina Chen).

    Of COURSE the German version is thinner.
