At long last, the overnight temperature dropped to freezing! It was two weeks later than usual, but a killing frost means an end to ragweed, bane of allergy sufferers. Hoo-ray! At last:
- I can turn off my central air conditioning (i.e., my friend the big pollen filter) and open the windows
- I'll be able to walk in the park and breathe through my nose at the same time
- My chances for sinus infections will decrease
As an added benefit, I'll have beautiful fall colors to enjoy... just in time for a trip to Traverse City this coming weekend.
I'm doing my happy dance!

The frost puts a damper on mosquitos, too. I've had West Nile Virus 4 times already this summer. I don't think I could take any more.
You know, I didn't realize it, but I was also able to breathe through my nose today. Still, I don't think 31 degrees guarantees the death of all weeds. They may come back. Steel yourself!
Mitch, I'm hoping it killed the ragweed, mold, and mosquitoes... but I've got a good supply of Allegra just in case!
