    Each spring and fall before true outward signs of the change of season is varifiable, the sneezing begins.

    I am not a big sneezer, but when the seasons change from death to life and from life to death, my allergies and consequently my sinuses go crazy. My husband laughs at me because I begin proclaiming "The growing rains are coming" or "The death rains have started."

    I am in tune with nature and it is a joy and pain at once. It is special to be a part of the activities in a biological way and yet I am partially drugged with (not tissue) The job is too big) but my famous **** rag in tow.

    Does your nose know when the seasons are changing?

    Red itchy eyes and sneezing are just a part of my existence, but I know before others know and start getting ready for the upcoming season.

    Ouch, you poor thing.

    I'm thankfully not allergic to anything I know of, but I can smell the change in the air. Especially the smell before a snow fall, it's kind of metallic. I know it's spring when the farmers fertilize their fields, but I guess anybody can smell that. :)

    My nose is also "tuned in" to changes in the seasons - not for allergy purposes, but just sensitive. Fortunately I do not suffer any allergic reactions. I can smell rain almost 10 minutes before it reaches us. :D Then again I am tuned in to smell rain since we have water restrictions so often.

    I love the smell of rain just before it falls. The red clay seems to absorb the humidity and announce the coming rain. But my allergies really take off.
