Day 1940
What a day in Seahaven Springs! Bev Tanner bounced back from the hospital just in time to witness the town's most genteel fracas yet—a passionate disagreement over buoy pronunciation that sent Fern Gorse and Abel Callahan into the mildest of scuffles at The Anchor, landing our spirited friend in Hal's holding cell for a cooling-off period. But the real warmth came earlier: Truman and Elaine finished their garden project as the day turned golden, a rainbow blessed the town after a gentle rain, and half of Seahaven Springs chose to simply sit outside together. Even the traveling garden gnome has found a new home, though nobody's saying whose porch it landed on. Tomorrow, perhaps, Fern and Abel will remember why buoy pronunciation hardly matters at all.

14:00The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions.
