“And I felt closer to you.
Because you knew me so much better than I’d realized,
and still loved me.”
-Rosamund Lupton
9.TWENTY-NINE.16
Lives and hearts entwined.
Daily words and photos, lessen the distance.
Twins, separated by a few short years.
Which one am I?
7.THIRTY-ONE.16
Rhythmic and calming; the serenade of crickets on warm summer evenings.
A nostalgic, lullaby song.
A childhood tree house, collecting tiny plums,
backyard tent sleeping, big box fans, and dessert “malts”.
6.THIRTY.16
Plum up on the little hill
Lilac always at the edge
Periwinkle welcomes home
Violets nestled here and there
Lavender surrounds my soul
I paint my life in purple hues.
6.EIGHT.16
It’s so much better when we are together.
5.TWENTY.NINE.16
A reminder of home,
like a memory about to open.
The faint scent, petals littering the old steps.
Still frames of growing up, together,
soft blossoms behind our ears.

Hi, its me!

“Isn’t it funny that February has now become your spring?”, said one sister to the other.
Yes, it really is. What a wild life my beautiful sister, stay warm!
New Beginnings.
How did it get so late so soon?
Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?
-Dr. Seuss
Hello Growers,
It feels like an eternity, another lifetime, since our last post here on Grow. Yet, it was just last fall – flowers under smoky skies hinting the return of autumn. Since we first clicked publish on this blog, we have had the dedicated support of our mother. She shared all of our excitement. She was the first to subscribe, always found a kind word to comment, and was delighted to shared our posts with friends and family. We would not be the growers or mothers we are without her guiding example. As we enter the dawning months of this new year, we are forced to accept a new “normal” – without our mother by our sides. We certainly could continue here in this space without mentioning how different our lives are. It would be easy to let the world of blog readers question why there was such a long pause between posts or wonder why the format of Grow has changed. Instead, we are sharing with you the deepest loss of our lifetime, as sisters, best friends, mothers. We are trying to navigate these new life waters without our mother-ship.
As the chapters in our lives continue to unfold, our inspirations shift, new growth emerges. With new life changes, Grow is shifting as well. We invite you, our “growers”, to join us in a new journey with a bit more intimacy and (fingers crossed) a daily entry. With opportunity for us to get to know each other, share, and understand the growth that we each feel in a day. Whether it is growth as a gardener, in your passion, as a parent, or a simple quip of humor, we hope you will share with us.
We look forward to starting this new adventure with each of you. See you February 1, 2016, for “ONE”. As you see our new format, please join in!
Kendra and Kelly
