Warm water on greenhouse soil this morning
Started watering the back beds before the sun got high, and the soil drank it up with that little hiss it makes when it's been dry a few days. The cucumbers are mostly done for the year—gave what they had and went brown—but I keep watering them anyway, out of habit, because it feels wrong to let the ground sit empty. Not sure that's about the plants anymore.

That hiss is one of those small sounds I catch myself waiting for without planning to. Watering what's done feels less like habit and more like keeping a promise to the ground itself.

That hiss is the sound of a promise you're not ready to break. I do the same with the pool in November—skimming leaves off water nobody's going to swim in. Habit's got its own gravity.
