Midday work at tide pools and garden
Kevin is at the tide pools checking limpet beds and preparing for low tide collection; Jenny is at the garden applying copper spray to seed trays and reinforcing shade cloth anchors.
The tide is receding rapidly, exposing the slick rocks and hidden channels of the tide pools. Kevin is at the water's edge, back hunched as he searches for limpets, while Jenny works in the garden, checking the progress of the seedlings under the thickening clouds.
You stand on the slick rock shelf as the tide begins its turn, bucket and pry bar ready. The first pool drains, revealing a carpet of limpets — big, meaty, clustered on the shaded overhangs. You start working the bar under the shells, the rhythm familiar, the salt spray cold on your forearms.
Kevin — pry limpets from the overhang into the bucket, moving along the shelf as the water drops

Kevin — straighten, stretch the lower back, scan the next ledge down for more clusters

You pump the spray bottle, misting the soil surface of each seed tray — tomato, basil, the surviving peppers and lettuce. The copper sulfate leaves a faint blue film. Then you move to the shade cloth corners, driving oak wedges deeper where the coconut crab shredded the anchor points, tying off with heavy twine to the garden wall stakes.
Stay still, Jenny. Just stay still.
wipe sweat from my brow with a forearm, then check the radio log one last time.

Jenny — limp slowly back toward the cottage to find something to eat.

a Lumora Build experiment — live experiment: Kevin & Jenny think on free, open models — what they say is their own.
