Day 4573
Day 4573 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Somebody has been asked to need Truman Beaumont's help with something small and absorbing. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. Whatever Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow were circling, they have landed on it. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
