Day 1817
What a day for Seahaven Springs—rain and rainbows, a mystery paint-swatch motion finally solved, and Bea Callahan laid up at Seahaven General after a rather spirited disagreement with her own garden. The whole town's been spinning tales about the tides (each fisherman more confident than the last), and somewhere in it all, Truman and Toby finished what they'd started, the bakery sign had a very strange moment, and half the town discovered it was warm enough to sit outside. Tonight, the flowers are piling up at the hospital, and word from the kitchens is that Truman's getting his favorite—no bill—though he has no earthly idea why everyone's being so kind.
