The Emmons Sisters: March 2007

The Shoe

I am propped on the front porch,

down beside the scarlet impatiens.
Glazed in dew, I await eight o' clock
when I will emerge as a needed possession.
The trials I face, such as
malodorous socks, are objectively little
compared to the high society with which I step out.
I find rumors of abandonment and rejection
to be impractical and unimaginable
knowing my value as I do.
My job security is exceptionally favored
among the socks seeking my protection.
Have I anything to fear
besides an occasional puddle?
Daily, my twin and I serve together,
bearing the weight of the world.

-Christina Emmons

Growers Market

Well, it's nice to be back at the market! Downtown, there is a Saturday Growers Market, and for the past few years we have been performing there. Last summer our Saturdays were booked at other places, so we were sadly only able to make a few weeks.

It felt wonderfully nice to get around early and drive down there and set up. The weather was beautiful and the perfect day to sing! The market was bustling with many, many, people and it was good to see some of our friends who sell goods there.

I hear it is going to rain next Saturday, but if it doesn't, you might find us downtown playing. Come on down and see!
