This morning I woke up to hear new bird sounds and a different smell in the air... it's the smell of the Sonoran desert warming up and in the spring the air here is also loaded with pollen as bees fly from flower to flower doing their work. My current eating program doesn't include any honey or I'd be down to the local health food store buying up some cactus honey to keep my allergies from acting up. But I don't live here anymore, so it's not worth the time it takes to overcome them. I'm just here for a seminar and will spend most of the time inside - unfortunately - poking my head out now and then to change the inside air for brief whiffs of the delicate aromas from outside.
