Summer is here. Most def­i­nitely here. The heat has reached some uncom­fort­able lev­els and it calls for extra spe­cial mea­sures. We have our own ways of deal­ing with the sit­u­a­tion with­out an air con­di­tion­ing — open the win­dows up in the attic room to get the chok­ing heat out; keep the win­dows down closed after 9am; dont move too much; not at all; vol­un­teer to go to the store to peruse the air­con in the car; stay in the vehi­cle that lit­tle bit extra. And get wet, very wet.

The kids take this to a new level. Play in the mud, stomp and run around while eat­ing all the fruits from the mul­berry tree. Then get wet again and lay around on the ground and make a huge mess with the peanuts. Oh, wait it was this one that made the mess:

Dirt, he likes dirt. Likes to have it flow through his lit­tle inquir­ing fin­gers. He likes to rub it on his leg­gies and splash some water on it to make a lovely lit­tle muddy mess suit­able for stick­ing under his fin­ger­nails. Dirt goes won­der­fully on the face too, for mark­ings or just because, for the fun of it.

Dirt goes well with the freshly picked toma­toes as well. He loves the things.

And that is how one deals with such a sweaty hot day. Or at least one of the ways to do it. I am not claim­ing any kind of genius here, just good olé com­mon sense and thirst for fun — water cools and its so darn excit­ing too.

If you are read­ing this from a place where water is only as a solid at the moment — oups! Sorry about that
