The heat takes me down. Far. The kids are miserable, needy, clingy, and I am a complete wreck. The only thing that keeps me alive in the afternoon is promise of our swimming hole. And oh, what a beautiful spot! For a few weeks, Dad and Ella added rocks every day, slowing the flow of the river enough to make a lovely, lazy lagoon of cool, clear water. There is plenty of shade in the afternoon and I am in heaven. The kids throw rocks, Osso chases rocks, Ella catches frogs, Dad lays out on a large flat warm rock, and I soak my over-heated body and finally regain my sense of self.
