    I have several huge cottonwood trees, (Popular) to the south of my house. They are starting to shed their cotton and it floats just like snow. The wind is out of the south so I have a blizzard of cotton coming down in my yard. I am mowing today, so it looks like I am in the middle of a blizzaed! :D

    A pic is kind of hard to take when you are the only one at home and you are setting on the mower!

    We had wind and rain Friday night so the fuzz from the cottonwood is all gone. The rain really brings it down. The bloom on the locust has come down in clumps too for the same reason.
