Day 608
Day 608 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Commotion at The Anchor! Elaine Whitlow and Truman Beaumont 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 Bench at The Orchard Gate reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

00:00Commotion at The Anchor! Elaine Whitlow and Truman Beaumont came to (very gentle) blows over a heated debate over the last pickled egg.
00:00Sheriff Brody has invited Elaine Whitlow to spend the night in the cells. Everyone agrees this is for the best.
00:00Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster.
07:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
08:00Fog has come in off the bay and stopped, very precisely, at the edge of town.
10:00Saturday orchard morning is under way. Opinions about ladders are plentiful.
10:00The town ladder is on its fourth borrower this week and nobody is sure who owns it.
11:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
11:56Both sides are heard at length. Neither changes its mind, warmly.
12:00Kip Doyle twisted an ankle chasing a runaway shopping trolley and is spending a few days in Seahaven General.
14:00A hedge has been trimmed one inch past a boundary. Diplomacy is under way.
14:54Edie Gorse and Elaine Whitlow have stopped leaving their friendship to chance.
19:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
19:30Flo Tidewater and Rex Callahan kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00Clouds drift in over the bay. Gus pretends not to enjoy it.
20:09Fern Gorse has turned keeping a notebook about the pond into a real part of life.
21:00Faint harmonica music was heard from the dock. Gus denies everything.
22:00An unclaimed umbrella has been standing by the café door for three days.
