Our story tonight is called Pies and Pinecones, and it’s a story about an upcoming adventure dreamt up in front of a fire. It’s also about a drawing spotted in the paper, a fence with a shared gate between yards, deep breaths, a shelf full of cookbooks, and delicious plans.

Our story tonight is called Ship in a Bottle, and it’s about a crate of bequests ready to be unwrapped. It’s also about the dark bark of oak trees after a storm, garden benches waiting to be sat on, and the ordinary magic of handmade things.

Our story tonight is called Autumn Sun, and it’s a story about a day at Weathervane Farm, treating the animals to autumnal enrichment. It’s also about light shifting through orange and red leaves, the pillowy soil of a well-tilled garden, the last pumpkins picked from their vines, and the simple joy of watching kids play.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Four Paws International. Their vision is a world where humans treat animals with respect, empathy, and understanding.

Our story tonight is called The Secret Stair, and it’s a story about a costume party on Halloween night at the Inn. It’s also about the bonfire down by the lake, a whiskered face at the window, a mystery waiting in the library and a reminder of what is sacred and worth your attention and what is not.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Greater Good on the ground in Florida and North Carolina, delivering emergency relief in the devastating aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Learn more in our show notes.

Our story tonight is called Grandmother’s Grimoire, and it’s a story about a family heirloom that arrives in the crispy, cool days of October. It’s also about an afternoon in the attic with old trunks and photographs, a cup of sugar from the pantry, and the return of an old friend.

Our story tonight is called All Hallows’ Eve at the Inn, and it’s the third in our special Halloween series this year. It’s about the Innkeeper and her trusty sidekick Sycamore as they ready the Inn for guests on a dark October eve. It’s also about carved pumpkins that line the great staircase, a blurry face in an old photo, a bubbling cauldron of punch in the ballroom, a costume purchased from the thrift store, and a forgotten tradition brought back to life.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Save a Fox Sanctuary. They work to rescue and provide forever homes for captive-born, non-releasable wildlife.

Our story tonight is called The Pumpkin Farmer, and it’s a story about a family tradition and the harvest that comes after a season of careful tending. It’s also about a long table set out beside the barn with every chair taken, a flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and living in step with the seasons.

Our story tonight is called Crows and Candles, and it is the next in this month’s special Halloween episodes. While it isn’t at all a scary story, it is meant to be a bit of balm for those that are grieving, and if that feels too heavy for tonight, that’s understandable, might I recommend The Leaf House from a week and half ago in your queue. Tonight's story is about a walk on a misty day and a place at the bottom of the hill where the gate squeaks when you push it open. It’s also about rosemary and gifts brought by birds, the magic of speaking the names of those we love, and a choice to make friends wherever you go.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue. Providing a safe and loving environment to domestic donkeys.

Our story tonight is called The Lookout, and it’s a story about a hidden place deep in the woods with a very special view. It’s also about all the different names for Juneberries, a maple leaf, and green stone, and enjoying your time when you’re alone.
