Description

Soaking up the sun
is...hard work.

But determinedly
I slog away at it.

It's a sweaty job but
I like to do it.

My three year old
bored to the bone

browned off with
this tanning of her hide

pronounces:

'It fedens me up...I'm finished
tryin' to put the sun into my skin! '

'I'm goin' in! '

And in she goes.

Wakes up her dolly
who has been sleep

in the shade.

My sweat trickles
with laughter.
