Ada at the wading pool
  Originally uploaded by Mac and Mel Wisler.

Today, which Mac declared the hottest day ever and blamed global warming even though the only thing to blame is that we are in Kansas in August, we took the kids downtown for some lunch, and then some time at the kid’s wading pool. Ada and I enjoyed it. James–both of them–tolerated it. When I came home though, I felt bone-creaking tired. After my treadmill time, I felt even more tired and started getting an instant headache, but in the back of my head instead of my typical eye-strain headaches. It turns out that in making sure Ada and James and Mac were sunscreened, nobody–even myself–remembered me. I was wearing a sundress, so now I have a strongly-pink back. I also took my camera to practice shooting Ada. She isn’t a good subject since she will not hold still. This shot is the only one that I got of her facing me. The rest are of her back. Even James wouldn’t look at me. The sprinkler in the pool was nice enough to not turn its back on me though.
