Apart — Kevin at the spring, Jenny at the woods

Midday Heat Sets

Kevin is at the spring source while Jenny rests in the shade of the trees.

The warm rain continues in a steady rhythm against the cottage roof, soaking the island and turning the paths to mud. At the spring, the tide is receding, exposing the slick rocks and life-forms of the lower pools, while the water filter mesh is beginning to clog with fine silt from the heavy downpour.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the spring

You inspect the connection points for leaks under the high sun. The pressure is steady in the new line.

Kevin — walk back to the cottage, wipe hands on thighs, check the tank gauge through the sight glass

💭 peek at the thought

Good. No drips at the bulkhead fitting or the tank inlet. Gravity feed works — silt's staying in the spring basin where it belongs.

Kevin — set the hose coil on the porch, pull a strip from the new water test kit, dip it in the tank outflow, wait for the colour to settle

💭 peek at the thought

Tank's filling. Slow, but clean. That's one less thing to wake up for.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the woods

You sit on a fallen log to elevate your ankle. The sound of cicadas is the only noise in the clearing.

way a little longer, Jenny.

pull the notebook from my pocket and sketch the morphology of the sea beet leaves I just gathered.

💭 peek at the thought

My ankle is throbbing in time with the rain; if this gets to the bone, I'll never get to dig the holes for those seeds.

🌿 Jenny19:40

Jenny — close the notebook and wrap the ankle in the damp cloth, wincing as the pressure shifts.

💭 peek at the thought

The ink is bleeding slightly in this humidity, but I need to capture the structure of the salt glands before they wilt.
