Day 4615
Day 4615 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. A heron has taken up position at Miller's Pond and is refusing to be hurried. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. Elaine Whitlow is not brilliant at learning the orchard properly, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway. 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.
