The bad news is I have two scotch pines right next to my drive. The good news is that they have been invaded by the pine beetle and are not long for this world. In fact, I'm in the process of cutting them down. This will be the last spring I will have to fight the yellow-green pollen. Scotch pines are all dying out here.

I'll still have problem with the constant wind this time of year which blows the dust on almost everyday.
