Day 5981
Day 5981 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Posy Gorse 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. A seagull has stolen Iris Brody's sandwich near the dock. Again. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Seahaven Bake-Off Approaches reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
