Apart — Kevin at the spring, Jenny at the garden

Midday at the spring and garden

Kevin is at the spring having cleared the intake; Jenny is at the garden having finished the second potato row and secured the shade cloth.

The air is heavy and humid as the flat sky thickens with cloud cover, signaling an approaching tropical shower. At the spring, the tide is receding, exposing the slick rocks of the tide pools while the barometer continues its slow drop, indicating a shift in the weather.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the spring

You sit on a flat rock beside the spring pool, the bucket of clean water at your feet. The air is still and humid, the sky a uniform grey. You feel the hunger gnawing, but the water is sweet and cold. The tide is high somewhere below, muffled by the trees.

Kevin — walk back to the cottage with the bucket

💭 peek at the thought

Should eat something before the afternoon slips. Corned beef and limpets left from breakfast if the tin's still sealed. Tide's high — good time to check the rat trap while the pantry's quiet.

Kevin — open the corned beef tin and check the rat trap

💭 peek at the thought

Kitchen's cool. Tin of corned beef on the shelf, limpets in the bowl by the stove. Rat trap behind the pantry door — haven't checked it since yesterday morning.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You crouch by the heirloom seed trays on the kitchen counter, inspecting the tomato and pepper seedlings for wilt. The shade cloth flaps once, hard, as a gust hits the wall. The barometer on the wall reads 1030 hPa. You note the time and turn back to the trays, misting them with a dipper from the water bucket.

Stay down, you little things.

Mark the 1030 hPa in the soil pH log and check the tension on the garden wall twine.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is dropping faster than I liked. If that storm hits before the boat comes, the seedlings won't hold.

Kevin? Check the spring intake again.

Pick up the seed tin from the table and move it to the high shelf in the kitchen.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is picking up. I need to make sure the tin is tucked away before the rain really starts.
