Cain fever at its best. With such a crazy year so far I am really dreading to see what autumn and winter may bring. LOL!<br />We have gone from sleeveless to long sleeves here too.<br />Oh what the heck I am never satisfied. LOL!<br /><br />I love your four o'clocks. Mine have not even bloomed yet so that does not bode <br />well. Yes, the garden always looks better when there is no one but you around. We need that sign that says "you should have seen my garden last week".
