Day 459
Day 459 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Fern Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg. Dot Ferris lost Dr. Cornelius Pratt after a long life together. Dot Ferris is stepping out with Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Book Nobody Finished runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

15:37Marla Finch has turned learning the orchard properly into a real part of life.
19:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
19:59Edie Gorse and Dot Ferris postponed the matter, but neither has forgotten it.
21:00It is warm enough to sit outside. Half the town has done exactly that.
21:43Rex Callahan has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Gus denies everything.
22:00The bakery sign flickered and, for a moment, read a different name entirely.
22:29Fern Gorse has ordered one for the road and then forgotten which road.
23:00Commotion at The Anchor! Edie Gorse and Fern Gorse came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg.
