Sisters...

Today is a relaxing day for both of us, each exercising our inner domestic, in our unique ways...

Sis, if you were here, you'd be having an old-school martini with me in the garden, throwing the ball for the dog and telling me I need to refinish this 50 year-old table. We would be talking about plants and trees that we might get around to planting later.

Sis, if you were here, you'd be wondering why I am going through all of this effort to candy anything, and wishing I would change the music (The National) to something a little more uplifting to match the mood. We would be sitting out at the pool between checking on the kumquats.












Sisters is a weekly check-in where we each take a photo of ourselves and describe the scene. Every year for the past fourteen years (mostly), we purchase identical pairs of flip-flops and sporadically tell each other what we're doing in the flippys as a way of staying connected. This year, we are memorializing the exchanges.
