Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for April 05, 2013

Poor Marigold! It looks like her nostrils aren’t so heavenly this time of year. And I sympathize completely. From March to November, I can tell what’s blooming, depending on whether my eyes, nose or throat are irritated. (And from November to March, I probably have a cold…)

Blow on her tail and see if your wish comes true!

But she is a magical unicorn! Allergies are so mundane. Isn’t there a magical remedy for this?

Oak, maple, and pine trees bloom a month before flowers pop up or grass turns green.

marigold – hasn’t anyone ever told you NOT to hold in a sneeze?

Yeah, you’d think a herbivore wouldn’t.

I know Phoebe.

What happens to the flora and fauna that get hit with the blast?

Unicorn snot!
