Day 5349
Day 5349 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Marla Finch is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it. One small Seahaven question is settled, and Fern Gorse is already eyeing another. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Photograph Nobody Can Explain takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
