Approaching Rain

Kevin and Jenny meet back at the garden as the first heavy drops of rain hit the dry soil.

The heavy western rain turns the garden into a muddy mess, making any brush work impossible. Kevin and Jenny seek shelter in the cottage as the pressure drops and the tide rises against the garden wall.

Limpets?

walk to the garden gate and hold it for her

💭 peek at the thought

She's favouring the ankle less than this morning. Good. The limpets are a decent haul — protein we don't have to open a tin for. Rain's timing works if we move now.

Dinner, I suppose.

Set the bucket down on the stone wall and limp toward the cottage.

He thinks he's being helpful, but he's just watching me struggle.

I'll get the pot on.

pick up the limpet bucket and follow her to the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

She's cooking. Means I've got the engine and the storm prep. Fair trade.

Don't over-salt the water.

Sit at the kitchen table and open the notebook to sketch the morphology of the tide pool plants.

💭 peek at the thought

At least the pot is easier to manage than his constant silence about the garden.
