Day 770
Day 770 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. The community orchard is in blossom and briefly the best place in town. The town cat is asleep on the Town Hall steps. Municipal business reroutes around it. Jonah Ferris was born to Dot Ferris and Kip Doyle. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Key, and No Lock runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

17:00Sunday supper is drawing the town toward The Salty Gull.
17:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.

19:00The traveling garden gnome has been spotted on a new porch. Nobody admits to moving it.
22:00The lights of Seahaven Springs flickered for exactly three seconds. The town clock is unbothered.
