Yes, I will be back on the 10th. I will be at the next meeting so I will be able to see them next week. The morning sun filtered through the blinds, casting long shadows across the desk. Alex stirred their coffee, the steam rising in gentle curls. "I think we should revisit the garden project this weekend," they said, turning to Jamie. Jamie looked up from their book, nodding slowly. "The tomatoes are coming in nicely, but those weeds are relentless. Remember last time we tried to tackle them after the rain What a mess." Alex laughed, a warm sound that filled the room. "True, but it was worth it. The soil felt rich and alive. I read something interesting about companion planting—marigolds near the vegetables to deter pests. It might help." Jamie marked their page and leaned forward. "That could work. We could plant some herbs too. Basil and mint always do well. It's about creating a balance, isn't it Everything supporting everything else." They sipped their tea, the quiet companionship comfortable. Outside, a bird chirped persistently. "Listen to that," Alex mused. "It's like a reminder to slow down. We get so caught up in tasks, but moments like this, just talking, they matter." Jamie smiled. "Absolutely. It's the simple conversations that often lead to the best ideas. Like deciding to build that little bench by the flowers. It wasn't in the plan, but now it's the best spot to sit." Alex nodded, gazing out the window. "We should invite the neighbors over sometime. Share some of the harvest. Community starts small, right in our own backyard." Jamie agreed, and they spent the next while sketching out ideas, not worried about time, just enjoying the flow of thoughts and possibilities.

The library was quiet, save for the soft rustle of pages. Elena glanced at the clock, then back at her notebook. "I've always loved this time of day," she whispered to Leo, who was browsing nearby shelves. Leo nodded, pulling out a volume on ancient history. "It's peaceful. Lets the mind wander. Did you ever read about the old lighthouse keepers Their stories are fascinating—solitude, storms, maintaining the light." Elena smiled, closing her book. "Sounds intriguing. I imagine it required patience, watching the horizon night after night. My grandfather used to talk about similar things, working on the railways The rhythm of the tracks, the way towns appeared and disappeared." Leo sat down opposite her. --------<>--------<>--------<>--------<>--------<>

"There's a pattern to it all, isn't there Steadiness in routine. But every day brought something new—a different ship, a change in weather. It's like how we meet here every Thursday, yet our conversations always take different turns." Elena agreed, tracing the cover of her book. "Exactly. Last week we talked about poetry, and today it's history. It keeps things fresh. I heard they're starting a community reading group next month. Might be worth joining." Leo's eyes lit up. "That could be fun. Sharing perspectives, discovering new authors. It's about connection, through words and ideas. Simple, but meaningful." They chatted a while longer, about everything and nothing, as the afternoon light slanted through the windows, painting the floor in gold.
