Sisters

Remember the peony farmer I met in May? Mom and I spent our Saturday with her and her sister  weeding the field of mounting peonies. I listened for several hours as the ex-Dallasite (the farmer), the Dallas-reluctant (her sister), and the Dallas crusader (my mother) chatted animatedly about common people and places, Dallas vs Alaska, worship, motherhood, and together—between squeals of discovering new Peony sprouts and the bashing of offensive worms—they solved the world's problems.

It's true, I heard them.

Left: Becca. Her family lives with her sister in Alaska in the summers.
Right: Rachel. She and her family live on their farm in the summer and in Anchorage the rest of the year.
These women are awesome.
