The evening calm before the rain
The pair sits in the kitchen, watching the barometer drop as the wind picks up from the east. The first heavy drops finally hit the tin roof.
The heavy, humid air of the wet season hangs motionless over the keeper's cottage. The tide has retreated to its lowest, exposing the slick rocks of the tide pools and the base of the north cliffs. Inside, the heat from the wood stove battles with the oppressive damp, smelling of drying sea beet and wood smoke.
Kevin, help me move the tomato trays off the porch. Now.
Stands up and grabs the first seed tray, moving it toward the kitchen table.

On it.
Grab the second seed tray and carry it to the kitchen table, then check the porch scuppers for debris.

Put them further back from the edge, the wind is already starting to catch.
Sets the tomato tray carefully on the table and starts checking the moisture in the soil with a finger.

Right.
Slide the tray to the centre of the table, then step to the porch door and hook it shut on the latch.

Check the heirloom packets by the stove. The humidity is spiking with the rain.
Walk to the wood stove and inspect the drying seed packets on the paper towels.

Mm.
Cross to the stove, lift the seed packets on their towels, and carry them to the top shelf of the pantry away from the steam.
