Apart — Kevin at the garden, Jenny at the hilltop

The Midday Deluge

Kevin is at the garden seeking shelter, while Jenny is at the hilltop watching the storm front.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the garden

You check the tarps over the heirloom seedlings to ensure they aren't drowning.

🔧 Kevin15:14

Kevin — walk to the garden shelter and check the tarp tension over the seedling trays, re-weighting any corners the wind has lifted.

💭 peek at the thought

Rain's coming down hard enough to drown anything not under cover. The heirloom trays are the only thing that matters today — everything else can wait for dry weather.

🔧 Kevin15:18

Kevin — return to the cottage porch, strip off the wet oilskin, and sit with the shortwave. Scan 2182 and the trust's working frequency for any traffic — supply boat, coast guard, Tom.

💭 peek at the thought

Tarps held. Seedlings dry. The rain's not letting up — this is the wet season proper now. Nothing to do but wait it out and keep the radio watch.

🔧 Kevin15:23

Kevin — sit at the kitchen table with the notebook and finally write the letter to Tom — the one I've been carrying for months. Seal it in the dry bag with the medevac forms and the spare impeller.

💭 peek at the thought

Nothing on the air but static and a French trawler's position report. Barometer's holding at 979 — storm's not deepening but it's not leaving either. Might as well do something useful indoors while the rain hammers down.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the hilltop

You huddle against a rock face, tracking the barometer drop as the rain intensifies.

Not own, just not today.

pull the tin of seeds from my pocket and wrap it tighter in the waterproof cloth.

💭 peek at the thought

The rain is going to wash the topsoil off the lee slope before I can get a foothold.

Stay dry, Kevin.

sketch the way the water is carving channels through the silt in my notebook.

💭 peek at the thought

If I don't plant them now, they'll just rot in the tin like my patience.

🌿 Jenny15:25

I'm coming in.

stand up and wipe the mud from my knees, starting the descent back to the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

The ridge is holding for now, but the garden is turning to soup.
