    Winter Animal Stories

    Our stories today are full of whiskers and wagging tales. We’ll start with a little brown dog as he meets his new family and falls in love in Crumb Comes Home. Then we’ll wrap up tight and head out into the snow to take in the views and the quiet and wish a happy new year to a doe in a pasture. Finally in Sycamore Settles In, we’ll check in the Innkeeper and her new friend as they make up beds, play in the ballroom and get ready for guests.

    New Year Adventures

    Our stories today take us into the new year with three fresh adventures. We’ll start with a simple soup simmering on the stove as the snow begins to fall in Lemongrass and Ginger. Then we’ll tie on our skates and head out to the park for a day in the crisp winter air in The Skating Path. Finally, we’ll board a train for a cross country trip, watch the sun set and daydream about the characters we meet on the way in The Sleeper Car.

    Near & Far Winter Stories

    Our stories today take us near and far in the Village of Nothing Much. We’ll start downtown in Mornings at the Coffee Shop, where we’ll fight off the cold with hot drinks and care for our neighbors. Then we’ll travel out to the chalet on the mountain in Fresh Snow for out of doors fun and evening recouping around the fire pit. Finally, we’ll come back to town for an impromptu meal in the diner on the corner in Out to Breakfast.

    Mistletoe, Ivy, & Pine

    Our stories today have us decorating and crafting and enjoying the outdoors. We’ll start with Mistletoe and Marmalade, as the tree goes up, and the animals debate pulling it back down. Then we’ll hear The Holly and the Ivy, where we can step out after the snow has fallen and cut some greenery for handmade gifts. Finally we’ll hear The Tree Farm. We’ll ride the tractor through the fields, and connect someone who needs something, with something that needs a home.

    Streetlights, Christmas Trees, & The Inn

    Our stories today have us deep into holiday excitement in the Village. We’ll stop by the bookstore in Snow and Streetlights and pursue the shelves, sip some hot cocoa, and smile at the merriment in downtown. Then we’ll unwrap the buildings of the little Christmas village, plugging in their bulbs and arranging them on the tree skirt in Under the Tree. Finally, we’ll head out to the Inn, where they are getting ready for a week of guests. The mantle is decorated, and from the windows in the ballroom, you can see the ice spreading on the lake in The Innkeeper’s Holiday.

    Books, Skates, & Stars

    Our stories today tip us into the first holiday tales of the season. We’ll start with Rainy Morning, a story about a good day to stay in bed and finish a good book, as well as looking forward to the next on the to-be-read list once the rain shifts to snow. Then we’ll visit with friends, step out into the fresh air, and risk a fall or two in Skating in the Park. Finally, we’ll pop some popcorn and snuggle on the couch as a special begins to play on the TV in Paper Stars.

    Originally presented as Episode 1.

    Our stories today center around some favorite spots in downtown Nothing Much. The bakery, the tea shop, and the coffee shop.

    Thanksgiving Three Ways

    Our stories today celebrate Thanksgiving in three different ways. We’ll start with Friendsgiving, rewriting the rules of tradition, and sharing food with a table full of friends as the sweet potato pies cool in the pantry. Then we’ll pack the car and head out in Over the River and Through the Woods. Cousins and dogs, a farmhouse kitchen with a dear aunt waiting to welcome you it. Finally, we’ll bundle up and walk into town to enjoy a perfect morning of floats and marching bands in At the Parade.

    Cabin Stories

    Our stories today are tales about a small A-frame cabin deep in the woods. We’ll visit it as fallen leaves gather in piles around the garden, then further into autumn when chill rain begins to fall, and finally a winter visit with the first deep snow of the season. We’ll spark a fire in the grate, choose a jigsaw puzzle from the stack in the closet, eat well, and sleep deep.

    Frost & Found Things

    Our stories today take you down a woody trail, into the heart of downtown Nothing Much, and through to the park as the cold fog burns off. We’ll start with The Middle Path, remembering to let movement be a pleasure, and a walk in the brisk air be a reset to the senses. Then we’ll stop to watch the train come into the station, and carry a newly bought bunch of flowers home, in Bells and Whistles. Finally, we’ll rise on a chilly morning to get the paper from the front stoop and admire the ice on the windows in First Frost.

    Softly Softly meditation on First This.

    Quiet Autumn Stories

    Our stories today invite you to slow down and enjoy doing very little. We’ll start with The Joy of Missing Out, where we can climb back into bed after the first cup of coffee is gone and read till our eyes won’t stay open. Then, we’ll stroll to the cafe downtown and sit at the table by the window while we study the menu. And when the rain begins to fall, we’ll be glad we’ve got a Table for One. Finally, we’ll slide our umbrella in the stand at the front door and put the big pot on the stove, in A Rainy Day, Making Soup. And if you stay around after the last story, I have some book recommendations for you, as well as my usual ramblings.
