Skyler and Taylor

In Illinois years ago, a day like this would have been a hot summer day. Here, it's a nice spring one. There is plenty of real summer to come. But today it's mostly blue sky, a bit of a breeze, the shining sun, and already good motivation to find a shady spot as the day wears on.

Down the street, Skyler and Taylor, are sitting in a driveway in the shade of a Texas Red Oak. They found a good spot, and they set up camp there. They are five years old, six at most.

There they sit, the two of them, talking and laughing and periodically jumping up from their chairs behind a little fold-out table. And when Trudy comes walking down the sidewalk towards them, one says, Look! Another customer! Here comes another customer!

Their sign says Kool-Aid: 5 cents.
