Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Ebbing Tide Exploration

Kevin is at the dock while Jenny is in the garden.

The heavy air hangs still as the tide recedes, exposing the rocky floor around the dock. Kevin spends the afternoon inspecting the tide pools for food-shelfish, while Jenny focuses on the garden's moisture needs in the dry heat.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

The receding water is revealing new pools near the edge of the shore.

🔧 Kevin16:18

Kevin — walk down the dock toward the exposed shore and tide pools

💭 peek at the thought

Tide's dropping fast. Might be limpets or mussels in those new pools worth taking back. Barometer's steady — got time before dark.

🔧 Kevin16:22

Kevin — gather limpets and mussels into a mesh bag, then start back up the dock toward the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

Found a decent haul — two dozen limpets clinging to the reef edge, a few mussels in the deeper pools. Bag's heavy enough. Tide's still going out; could push further along the rocks toward the point, but the light's shifting.

🔧 Kevin16:26

Kevin — set the mesh bag on the porch bench, grab the stiff brush and a bucket of seawater, start scrubbing limpets clean

💭 peek at the thought

Back at the cottage. Jenny's still in the garden. Smell of woodsmoke and damp earth. Need to clean these limpets before they go in the pot — sand ruins a meal.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You check the wrapped succulents for any signs of distress or growth.

Come on, just breathe. Don't rot on me.

Reach out andization touch the leaf of the smallest succulent, checking for turgor pressure.

💭 peek at the thought

If these don't root in another two days, I'll have nothing left to show the trust.

🌿 Jenny16:20

Jenny — wipe sweat from my forehead with the back of a hand and stand up slowly, stretching my lower back.

💭 peek at the thought

The heat is like a weight on my chest; I can't even breathe properly.

🌿 Jenny16:25

Jenny — walk back toward the cottage, stopping to look at the weeds reclaiming the garden wall.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is growling so loud it's distracting me from the sketches.
