light and shadow

My hayfever is raging. Or I'm getting a cold. It's a bit hard to tell.
I've been taking allergy pills every night for almost two weeks, but I'm getting worse and worse every day. Last night a friend suggested getting another kind of allergy medicine and rotating it with the current one because apparently it's effectiveness wears off as your body gets used to it. So I will be off to the pharmacy this morning to buy more little white pills and will hopefully feel much better by tonight.

I added two more pots to our back porch flower pot garden. I planted basil seeds in one, and "cottage mix" flower seeds in another (as well as around the rosemary plant that's in a big pot). The green pepper seeds I planted are sprouting, much to my delight, and I think that with the addition of basil and some flowers, our back porch garden is complete.
