Spring Blossoms

crab apple blossoms

We have a lot of crab apple trees in the neighbourhood and they are all blossoming at this time of year. Some of them are quite large and look quite pretty.

A friend of mine told me she had 3 episodes of blurry vision combined with seeing black squares in her central vision one day. She rushed to emergency where the doctor on call told her he thought it might be cataracts. Anyway, she was able to see an opthamologist at another hospital the next morning who told her she was having an ocular migraine. I'm glad she has a diagnosis that seems to make sense. And you learn something new every day, however scary.

I remember something similar happening to my vision where it was blurry on one edge of my vision. They never were able to figure out what caused it, but it never happened again. Thank goodness!

I do love crab apple trees. The blossoms are so spectacular!
