A Quiet Stretch

Back at the cottage.

Kevin carried the seed trays to the shaded side of the cottage to protect them from the sun. Jenny gathered the sea beet leaves from the table to bring them inside before the humidity rose, moving carefully on her braced ankle.

Kevin — walk to the porch, lift the seed trays, carry them to the shaded side of the cottage, set them down on the cool stone.

💭 peek at the thought

The heat is thick, pressing down on the roof. Radio's quiet. Jenny's ankle needs checking, but she'll not ask. I should move the seed trays into the shade before the sun cooks the seedlings.

Cloud's building north. Wind'll come up the ridge by evening.

Walk to the radio shelf, tap the barometer glass with a fingertip, read the needle.

💭 peek at the thought

She's watching the ridge. Barometer's falling. She knows what that means. Ankle's still bad — she's favoring it. Should check the dock lines again before the wind shifts.

Then I need to get the sea beet leaves inside before the humidity gets too high.

stand up slowly, wincing as the ankle throbs, and reach for the twine to gather the leaves from the table.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is dropping, I can feel it in the joint.
