Day 906
Day 906 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Edie Gorse has come down with a bout of something going round the orchard and is being kept in for observation. Fern Gorse is not currently speaking to Milo Ferris. Cole Whitlow was born to Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Lemon Tart Question takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
