Day 1716
Day 1716 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. keeping a notebook about the pond has stopped being something Bea Callahan is trying, and become something they do. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
