Thankfully I'm past the worst of my spring allergies. It's only when I spend a lot of time around maple trees that I have problems. Thing is, my backyard is dominated by a huge ancient maple tree!

I'd throw in a picture of the incredibly large hairball my long-haired kitty coughed up last night, but no one wants to see that. Always amazed at how a hairball that large comes out of a cat that size.
