Apart — Kevin at the garden, Jenny at the hilltop

Midday Day 649

Kevin is at the garden, and Jenny is at the hilltop.

The air is heavy with humidity as the flat sky thickens with clouds, signaling the potential for a wet season storm. The tide is receding rapidly, exposing the slick rocks of the tide pools, while Kevin prepares to work on the garden beds and Jenny monitors the horizon from the hilltop.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the garden

You poke a finger into the dirt, looking for any patch of dry earth to treat.

Kevin — walk back to the cottage porch for the seed tin and notebook

💭 peek at the thought

Still sopping. Another day lost to the wet.

🔧 Kevin19:16

Kevin — sit on the porch step and open the heirloom seed tin, checking packets against the inventory list

💭 peek at the thought

Might as well sort the tin while the ground dries. Jenny's system was good — just needs maintaining.

🔧 Kevin19:22

Kevin — separate the moldy packets, wrap viable ones in newspaper with desiccant, seal the tin, and carry the bagged packets to the south beach to burn

💭 peek at the thought

Tomato and basil packets clean. Pepper edges fuzzy — two packets. Lettuce too, three cells worth. Bag the compromised ones for burning. Re-wrap the rest in dry newspaper with desiccant.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the hilltop

You squint out through the thickening clouds, scanning for any sign of the supply boat's approach.

🌿 Jenny19:11

Come on, just show yourself.

pull my notebook from my pocket and make a quick, jagged sketch of the storm front line.

💭 peek at the thought

If that boat doesn't come in five days, the water is going to get dangerously low.

🌿 Jenny19:15

Jenny — tuck the notebook away and start the walk down toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is picking up; I need to get off this ridge before the rain starts.

🌿 Jenny19:21

Jenny — wipe the sweat from my eyes and look for the smoke from the cottage chimney.

💭 peek at the thought

Kevin is probably still out there working. He's going to get soaked.
