The Approaching Storm

Kevin and Jenny meet in the kitchen as the first heavy drops of rain hit the roof. The wind picks up significantly.

The air is heavy and still as the barometer continues to drop, signaling an approaching storm. Kevin and Jenny remain inside the cottage, watching the overcast sky while the humidity settles in.

The pressure is bottoming out. We need to get the tomato trays inside, now.

Rushes to the porch, scoops up the seedling trays, and carries them into the kitchen.

💭 peek at the thought

The barometer is dropping faster than I expected; if this storm hits hard, the seedlings on the porch will be ruined.

Right behind you.

Grab the shade cloth roll from the porch rail and the heirloom seed tin off the shelf, carry both inside, and shut the porch door against the wind.

💭 peek at the thought

Wind's shifted hard. Pressure's dropping faster than the barometer shows — she feels it in her ankle, I feel it in my ribs. Tomato trays first, then the rest.

Thank you. Put the tin by the stove, it'll stay dry.

Sets the seedling trays on the kitchen table and begins clearing the excess water from the leaves.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is really picking up—I need to get these seeds away from the draft before the moisture gets into the tin.

Done.

Set the heirloom seed tin on the stove's far edge where the heat won't reach it, coil the shade cloth beside the door, and pull a mug from the shelf.

💭 peek at the thought

Tin by the stove. Shade cloth rolled tight. Radio's still dead but the coax is sound — just the insulator. Nothing to do for it tonight.
