Dorothy, I can commiserate. Years ago when I worked at a printing company that had just moved into a new building, every May I'd have laryngitis for two or three weeks (or longer). Finally a doctor told me I was probably allergic to mold or something in the heating/AC ducts (keep in mind, this was a NEW building...). When I left their employ, the annual laryngitis went away and never came back.

Just de-accessioned a really cool colored (blue and red all over) teddy bear and another stuffed toy to a neighbor girl -- and took her parents a few good-sized clumps of perennial euphorbia which I dug today out of places it shouldn't be growing. I took home a clump of stachys (lamb's ears) to regenerate my border.

For supper tonight I sauteed up some pea tendrils in olive oil and garlic. Good. Sort of like spinach with a bit of fresh pea flavor. But I think I like them better in a salad -- much stronger fresh pea flavor (and crunch, of course).

Today was R&R -- went over to visit with a friend whose husband just had surgery yesterday.
