マスクふたたび March in Kyoto: face mask again

三月の京都
まだまだ外出にはマスクが必要！　なんで～？!
2023年3月に外出時のマスク着用が自己判断とされ、今は自由です。ようやく季節もよくなり、パーっとマスク無しで出かけたいのに、今度は花粉症ですわ。。。
散歩は朝早い目に。帽子に眼鏡にマスクの重装備。帰宅したら玄関前で上着をそーっと脱ぎ、花粉を持ち込まないよう部屋に入る、という始末です。
早く花粉の飛散がおさまりますように。
そう言ってる間に、暑い夏が。。。
地球が住みにくくなってきたのか、自分に適応力がなくなってきたのか。
March in Kyoto 2024
Masks are still necessary for going out! Why, you ask?
As of  March 13, 2023, wearing masks outdoors was a matter of personal judgment. It's optional then. Just when the weather is getting nicer and I'd like to go out without a mask, here comes pollen allergies.
So, I walk early in the morning, with a heavy ensemble of cap, glasses, and MASK. When I get back home from walking, it's a careful process of removing my outerwear at the doorstep to avoid bringing pollen indoors.
Hopefully, pollen levels will calm down soon.
But while we're wishing for that, here comes the hot summer.
I wonder if the Earth is becoming less hospitable or if I'm just losing adaptability.
