Day 5869
Day 5869 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. keeping a notebook about the pond has stopped being something Marla Finch is trying, and become something they do. There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it. The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Everybody, Slightly Left takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
