ReplyDeleteA branch, honestly, has never looked lovelier. Wow, I thought I looked close last week, but you have shown me I need to look closer.

Wow...so much in a drop.. These are really beautiful Laura.. (I did see the doc and there is something showing up on MRI, but not MS but looks more like something vascular. She said not to worry and I need another MRI in 6 months. Not to worry is easy for someone to say, not easy to do as you know.. hugs..Michelle
