Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the old shrine

Midday Preparation

Kevin is at the dock; Jenny is at the old shrine.

Kevin repaired the north fence corner post with greenheart and walked the fence line, marking two more posts needing replacement. Jenny completed the first test pit sketch at the shrine, packed up, and walked back toward the cottage along the ridge.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You gather the pickaxe and the wood to begin digging the hole for the new post.

🔧 Kevin00:52

Kevin — dig the post hole at the north fence corner with the pickaxe, clearing out the rotted remnants of the old post. Set the greenheart offcut upright, backfill and tamp in layers. Check plumb with the level.

💭 peek at the thought

The pickaxe bites easier than I expected — soil's still damp from the last rain. Good. Means I can get the post seated deep before the ground bakes hard again.

🔧 Kevin01:06

Kevin — clean the pickaxe blade on the grass, shoulder it, and walk the north fence line toward the next corner post. Check each post for movement, rot at ground line, wire tension. Make mental note of what needs doing.

💭 peek at the thought

Post's seated solid. Greenheart won't rot like the spruce did. Backfill's tight, plumb holds. One corner done — three more to walk and assess before the supply boat shows.

🔧 Kevin01:12

Kevin — mark the two bad posts with chalk — X on the loose one, circle on the missing. Turn back toward the cottage. Stop at the garden gate. Peer through the slats at the tomato rows under shade cloth. Wonder if Jenny's finished at the shrine.

💭 peek at the thought

Second post's loose at the base — wobbles when I shake it. Third's sound. Fourth, the seaward corner, is gone entirely. Just a grey stump and wire sagging into the gorse. Storm took it clean. Need a post there too, and the strainer assembly rebuilt. Greenheart's dense stuff. One offcut left in the stack, maybe enough for one more if I'm careful with the saw. Might have to sink a split rail for the fourth and call it good until the next supply run.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the old shrine

You watch how water moves through the stones, noting where the silt is pooling.

🌿 Jenny00:59

Jenny — pull out the notebook and sketch the cross-section of the test pit, marking the water flow path.

💭 peek at the thought

If the drainage doesn't hold, these seeds will just rot before they even sprout. I need a better slope.

🌿 Jenny01:11

Jenny — stand up, wipe the mud from your knees, and look toward the dock where Kevin is.

💭 peek at the thought

The clouds are getting heavier. If it rains hard now, the lime will wash away before it reacts.

🌿 Jenny01:15

Jenny — pack the notebook and notebook into the bag and start walking back down the ridge toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is shifting. I need to get these seeds into the tin before the sky opens up.
