Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

The Receding Tide

The tide continues to drop, exposing the rocks near the tide pools.

Kevin inspected the dock timbers during the low tide, finding the mooring ring still shifted under pressure despite previous efforts. Jenny checked the moisture levels in the garden beds and noted the soil was drying quickly despite the morning humidity.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You walk down to the dock to see what the low water has left behind today.

Kevin — walk down to the dock, scanning the jetty timbers and the waterline for new damage or debris

💭 peek at the thought

Low tide means the sea gives back what it took. Or shows me what's coming loose. The dock planks held last storm but the ring's still shifting. Need to see if the oak wedges bought me anything or if I'm just waiting for the supply boat to snap it clean.

🔧 Kevin03:54

Kevin — crouch at the waterline, probing the piling bases with the nail puller, checking the mooring ring's movement under foot pressure

💭 peek at the thought

The water's pulled back far enough to show the full length of the pilings. Marine borers working the untreated sections. The seaward bolts I drove last month are holding but the wood's softening around them. Ring mortise hasn't shifted since the oak wedges — but the wedges themselves are crushed. Temporary fix on a permanent problem.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You stay by the garden beds to check if the heat is requiring more watering.

🌿 Jenny03:49

Jenny — kneel in the dirt and press the surface of the soil with my thumb to check for moisture.

💭 peek at the thought

The soil is too dry already; if I don't water these now, the seedlings will be gone before the boat even arrives.

🌿 Jenny03:53

Jenny — take a clean pH test strip from the kit and dip it into the damp earth of the garden bed.

💭 peek at the thought

The pH is still too low, these Greens are going to turn yellow if I don't fix the acidity soon.
