In the past two weeks, spring has shed its wintery cocoon, and the buds on the trees have in the span grown from green spots to broad leaves splayed in both sunshine and rain. This year my nose itched a little less that it normally does this time of year and my left ear canal felt as though it were being scratched by a toothpick rather than hacked with a sawblade. I am not certain if the relatively mild expression of symptoms was due the anti-allergy medication I took, as the onset of symptoms was later than normal. Still, the warm weather was nice, albeit as sudden as a sneeze triggered by the invisible specks that entered my nose, and even now, as it cools, I am certain that Demeter has thrown a party for the return of her homesick daughter.
