they call me pollen yellow, quite right-ly

Lake Murray, of South Carolina, has certainly seen better days.
That's tree sperm - I mean, pollen - all over it, making it look to have an odd algae bloom.
I know we've had the trees around here spurting sulfur-hued mists twice already, rather than once and done last month.
That's why I know Donovan wouldn't mind my borrowing his lyrics.
(smile)

So, what's a girl to do when it's too yellow to go out and play?
How about a bit of house clearing?
Nope, that is decidedly not a typo!
My house is not dirty, but it does have piles of stuff waiting to be cleared away.
In one of the piles from my former office at Armstrong, I found... Jumbles!
Some have not yet been completed, so I have set them aside -
into a new pile, so to speak -
whilst others are destined for the recycle bin.
But first, let's go pun-mining, shall we?
Yes, yes, yes!!!
