The first drops fall

The still air breaks as a cold gust hits from the north, bringing the first heavy beats of rain to the tin roof.

Kevin and Jenny moved the seed trays indoors ahead of heavy rain, securing them on the kitchen table with a towel to manage humidity. The barometer held steady at 1010 hPa as the sky darkened further.

Kevin, get the trays inside! The rain is coming in hard!

grab the seed trays from the bench and run for the kitchen.

💭 peek at the thought

The barometer is dropping faster than I thought; I need to get those trays inside before they get soaked.

Right behind you.

Grab the remaining seed trays from the bench and follow Jenny into the kitchen.

💭 peek at the thought

Rain's here earlier than the barometer said. Move now or lose the seedlings.

Put them on the table, away from the window.

set the seed trays on the kitchen table and check the moisture levels in the soil.

💭 peek at the thought

If the salt spray hits those now, the whole batch is gone. I can't lose these.

Kevin — set the trays down on the kitchen table, then move to the window and latch it shut against the driving rain.

💭 peek at the thought

Good. Table's solid, away from drafts. She knows what she's doing with those trays.

The humidity is already too high. They need to dry out here.

press a finger into the soil of the largest tray to check if it's overwatered.

💭 peek at the thought

He's finally helping, but the air is still so heavy. It feels like breathing water.

Kevin — pull a clean towel from the hook and drape it loosely over the trays to slow evaporation without trapping mold.

💭 peek at the thought

Soil's wet enough without the sky adding more. She's right to keep them in.
