Apart — Kevin at the spring, Jenny at the keeper's cottage

Midday Workups

Kevin is at the spring, Jenny is at the cottage.

The heat is heavy at the spring as the clouds thicken overhead over the dry season. Kevin checks the water levels while Jenny prepares the cottage for the supply boat's arrival.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the spring

You stand by the spring, draw water into a bucket, and watch the clear stream. You then carry the bucket back toward the dock to ensure the supply for the morning.

🔧 Kevin07:31

Kevin — carry two buckets of water from the spring to the dock, set them down beside the dinghy, and check the stern spring tension again

💭 peek at the thought

Water's clean enough. pH's low but it'll boil. Need to get the rest of the gear squared away before dark — dinghy lines, generator, the radio check. She's waiting.

🔧 Kevin07:34

Kevin — walk back to the cottage, check the ditch bag clipped to the dinghy forward eye bolt, verify the dry bag lashed to starboard gunwale with radio and seed tin inside

💭 peek at the thought

Tide's turning. The forward spring's taking load clean. Barometer's holding. If the supply boat keeps to schedule, she'll be in the channel by 0600. Need the ditch bag and dry bag where they can be grabbed in the dark.

🔧 Kevin07:39

Kevin — go inside the cottage, find Jenny on the porch, sit beside her without speaking, and take her hand

💭 peek at the thought

Bags are where they should be. Radio's dry. Seed tin's sealed. The VENTUROUS window is the only one that matters now. Everything else can wait.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You open the heirloom seed tin, seal the viable packets, and place it on the kitchen table. You then tend to the kitchen stove, preparing a simple meal for the day.

🌿 Jenny07:29

Almost there, Grandma. Just one day.

I slice the last of the mackerel and sear it in the cast iron skillet with the fat from the rat.

💭 peek at the thought

If the boat doesn't come tomorrow, these seeds are the only future I have. I can't let them rot like this leg.

🌿 Jenny07:33

Jenny — i wipe the skillet with a rag and walk to the window, watching the clouds thicken over the area ridge.

💭 peek at the thought

The sky is getting too heavy. I can feel the pressure dropping in my joints before the barometer even says it.

🌿 Jenny07:37

Jenny — i pick up my sketchbook and begin to draw the way the light is hitting the waves.

💭 peek at the thought

Kevin is still out there. If that storm breaks before he gets back, he'll be in trouble with the swell.
