I HATE MOSQUITOES BUT THE LOVE ME. THEY ARE SO ANNOYING AND IF YOR HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE IN YOUR BEDROOM AT NIGHT, YOU CAN FORGET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP. I GOT MALARIA AS A CHILD IN NOW ZIMBABWE, THEN SOUTHERN RHODESIA, WAS VERY SICK. GREAT WRITE MY POETIC SIS, HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER.

Eve, you captured the scene perfectly, exactly what happens when I step outside in the evening to enjoy my garden porch ~ Constance
