Evening Stillness

The two sit in the quiet hum of the island, the sound of the tide lapping against the dock pilings just outside.

Radio first. Maps after.

stand, stretch the stiffness from my shoulders, and head to the porch to check the aerial insulator one more time before dark

💭 peek at the thought

She's planning the transect for tomorrow. Good. Keeps her mind on the work.
