Send In the Clowns

 

It was too hot to manage the Farmer's Market again yesterday so Pup and I waited in the shade while The Mister picked up some things. 

The last time I went with The Mister to the Farmer's Market I had tried out a new sunscreen. I had seen a report on the weather channel about the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreen so I had ordered some mineral ones after hearing that they are safer. I slathered it all over and off we went. It was a particularly nice morning and every one seemed to be very jolly. I was getting lots of smiles. The Mister who is usually a few steps ahead of me turned around and looked at me in horror. "You look like a clown", he whispered. It seems my new sunscreen had dried in a way that made me look an awful lot like...

...this guy. I hid behind a tree and used Pup's water bottle and a cooling scarf that I carry with me to wipe it all off my face. Needless to say, I've gone back to my chemical sunscreen. I didn't particularly like having my face feeling like a baby's butt covered in diaper rash ointment anyway.
