Hi All,
Spring has almost arrived! I can tell by the number of people I see outside working in their yards and sneezing. The last few days of February enticed a number of us to get outside and get to work. Unfortunately, many of us don't take precautions to protect our selves. Trimming, raking and cultivating disturbs dust, mold and new pollen of the season, so stop and put some protective equipment on. Gloves, safety glasses or at least a set of sunglasses are a must. If you have allergies or even a cold, use a dust mask to minimize respiratory irritants. A hat is also a good idea, since our sun is pretty bright these days.
Take care of your health and have fun!
