Day 1147

Day 1147 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful. Theories multiply at the café. Abel Callahan starts a suspect list. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Anonymous Good Deed reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
