Day 1689
What a day in Seahaven Springs! The community orchard bloomed into a symphony of bees and blossoms, mysterious postcards arrived in eager mailboxes, and a talent night was born at The Anchor with suspicious speed. But the real story was Lark Ferris's tumble from a stepladder—a kite rescue gone wrong—which sent them to Seahaven General for a few days' rest, reminding us all that even in our perfect little town, small accidents happen to good people. As umbrellas deployed and a rainbow painted the sky in impossibly perfect angles, the town gathered outside to watch the weather pass, and somewhere in the warm evening, three different people began teaching the room songs with no chorus, because that's simply how Seahaven Springs chooses to spend its time.
