Sisters Jackie Delong, left, and Michele Butler soak up the sun Tuesday with their dogs, Lily Jean and Scrappy, right, in Lewiston. The siblings spend a lot of time in front of their apartment building. “I start in the morning, even in the wintertime,” Delong said. “This is my Zen.” She said she moved in with her sister when she could no longer afford her rent in Old Orchard Beach.
