Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Midday work apart

Kevin is at the dock clearing the fallen spruce and salvaging timber; Jenny is at the garden planting Moneymaker seeds on the north ridge bench.

Kevin works on the dock, monitoring the rising tide and checking the structural pilings while he prepares to repair the shortwave radio. Jenny is in the garden, tending to her throbbing ankle with a sea beet poultice and planning to plant Moneymaker seeds on the north ridge.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You arrive at the dock with the bow saw and mattock. The fallen spruce lies across the garden path, branches tangled in the shade cloth anchors. The trunk is thick, salt-bleached, but the heartwood looks sound. You start by cutting the smaller branches free, stacking them for kindling.

Kevin — cut smaller branches free with bow saw, stack for kindling

💭 peek at the thought
Good wood going to waste if I don't clear this today. Heartwood's sound — can use the trunk for stakes or firewood, branches for kindling. Shade cloth anchors are tangled but the cloth held. Need to work methodical.

Kevin — saw trunk into four manageable lengths, stack beside path

💭 peek at the thought
Branches cleared. Trunk's next — three solid lengths I can get from this. Shade cloth anchors need re-setting once the wood's off them. Back's holding so far.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You reach the 40-meter bench on the north ridge, trowel in hand, seed packets in your pocket. The soil is damp from the intercept trench drainage, pH still 5.5–5.8 in the untreated strips. You lay out the Moneymaker tomato seeds along the terraced rows, spacing them per your sketch.

🌿 Jenny09:27

Slow down, Jenny. Slow down.

Kneel on the dirt with a grit and begin pressing the Moneymaker seeds into the soil one by one.

💭 peek at the thought
If the salt wind gets these before they take, grandmother's legacy is gone, and I'm just another failure.

🌿 Jenny09:33

There.

Wipe the mud from my hands onto my jeans and look out over the ridge.

💭 peek at the thought
My ankle is throbbing in time with the rain, but the row is finally finished.
