Day 72
Day 72 brought spring clouds and blossoms to Seahaven Springs, along with a few gentle complications: Norma took a tumble down the Town Hall stairs and is resting at Seahaven General under Dot's watchful care, a mysterious hedge has overstepped its boundary, and someone has repainted their front door in the dead of night—the sort of small mysteries that keep the town happily gossiping over coffee. The traveling garden gnome appeared on yet another porch, Fern Gorse settled into her new clerk's desk at Town Hall, and rain drove everyone to the café, where the warmth of community felt as cozy as the biscuits were plentiful. In Seahaven Springs, even the ordinary days are full of small wonders.
