Hot Weather Scene, N.Y.

It looks so idyllic, doesn’t it? Playing in the water on a hot summer’s day in New York. Between 83 and 98 years ago, those children played.
Dead.
They’re all dead now.
Does it matter that she got her dress all wet and ruined it for the day?
That became surprisingly morbid for a moment there.

Don’t think it’s morbid. It gives me food for thought! Good grief, have I told my 5 children to stop playing because of something like a wet dress… Of course, they are all grown up now, but you can bet that my grandchildren play all they want AND get wet. Thanks for the picture. Linda~
