Sneezy plays in the kitchen

Today I noticed that the desert broom is blooming. This observation coincided with the onset of a terrible cold that magically goes away when I breathe next to the air cleaner.

In unrelated news, if you want your house to smell like green pepper, putting green pepper in the blender will do the trick. You end up with what we can charitably call 'raw green pepper mousse.'

I made green foamy stuff. As of this writing, no one has worked up the gumption to taste it.
