blowing in the wind

the seeds of my doom are aloft.

i wish i could show you this on the webcam. the air outside is just clogged with some kind of fluffy windborne seed. i don't think it's dandelion or thistle; paul suggested milkweed. whatever it is, it bodes ill for my lawn.

it's strange to be able to see the course of the air currents so clearly.

and it makes me want to buy a 55-gallon drum of round-up.

I'll bet it's cottonwood. Totally harmless to the lawn, but it will build up on the driveway like snow.

it could be that, but i think the bits of fluff are much smaller in my case -- it's not collecting anywhere, and just wafts by with every new puff of air.
