Day 262 of 2026
“Northwest Kneel”
WEATHER REPORT — back garden, Saturday, no further data logged
Wind: northwest, sustained, strong enough to comb every blade the same way by noon.
Sky: not recorded; assume it did not matter.
Ground: raised beds fallow, soil combed into rows, one hoe abstaining against its stake.
Precipitation: none. A cracked cloche holding its breath instead.
Notable absences: the gardener.
Forecast: the kneeling-pad will keep the shape of someone gone to fetch something, for longer than seems reasonable.
