I went out yesterday to take these pictures of cherry trees at a spot on the East-West Hiway where Beach comes in. They were in full bloom and gorgeous, and I knew they wouldn't last too much longer, even if the weather has been chilly and rainy, and is again today. Yesterday was also the day I went to have a carotid doppler (?), which turns out to be a sonogram of the arteries in your neck. This was because I have been having weird little dizzy spells. Even at the doctor's, lying on their table, the ceiling of the room was spinning around just a little when I lay down. Fortunately, it went away pretty soon.
When I was out photographing these cherry trees, there was a big boom of thunder overhead. I was already heading back to the car, and just when I got inside, Whoosh, came the rain, just pouring. Lucky me. I drove up a little side street right there, lined with nice houses and tons of cherry trees. Gorgeous. It was pouring rain and snowing cherry blossoms all over. I loved it. Today at the supermarket, we saw a car that was just plastered in cherry blossoms, literally. It looked like confetti had been thrown all over it and stuck.
