Fog-bound Morning

The fog begins to lift as the tide rises, revealing the salt-slicked rocks of shore.

Kevin cleared the spring intake screen of silt and debris, restoring clean flow. Jenny finished the second row of seed potatoes, spread sea beet leaves to dry indoors, and lashed the garden shade cloth to the wall rings against the coming wind.

The tide is coming in early. We need to secure the sea beet leaves.

Walk to the kitchen to check the barometer again.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is dropping too fast; I can feel it in my knees.

Grab the tray. I'll get the door.

walk to the cottage porch and hold the kitchen door open

💭 peek at the thought

The tide's already licking the wall. She's right about the sea beet — salt'll ruin what we've got drying. My back's telling me the potatoes can wait ten minutes.

I've got it.

Pick up the tray of drying sea beet and follow him into the kitchen.

💭 peek at the thought

He's so helpful when there's a physical task to delegate.

Kevin — set the tray on the table near the stove and pull out a chair to sit

💭 peek at the thought

Kitchen's warm from the stove. Good. The damp'll pull off faster in here.

The barometer is at 1035 hPa and still dropping. We might lose the seedlings if it rains too hard tonight.

Set the tray down carefully and walk over to the way on the wall.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm hungry enough to eat the sketches, but I need focus.

Shade cloth's only tied at the corners. If it howls tonight it'll peel. We'll lash it to the wall rings before dark.

stand and walk to the porch to check the garden through the window

💭 peek at the thought

1035 and falling. That's not rain — that's a blow coming. The shade cloth won't hold if the wind picks up past twenty knots. Need to batten the trays down proper.
