Southern California springtime trees already blooming!

Just got through the holidays, not really thinking about springtime yet -- but Southern California has had some beautiful weather lately, and along with the sunshine and breezes we are starting to see some early springtime blooming trees.

Pollen counts for ash and alder trees are on the rise, so by all means go out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors, but remember not to bring it back into your bedroom if you are pollen allergic.  Throw those outdoor clothes into your laundry and not onto your bed, to avoid nighttime exposure and a morning stuffy nose!
