Nothing much happens: bedtime stories to help you sleep

Our story tonight is called At the Diamond, and it’s a story about a warm day, stretched out on a blanket under a tree. It’s also about jumping through a sprinkler on soft green grass, a dried flower with blue petals, and a home run hit out past center field.  Subscribe for ad-free, bonus, and extra-long episodes now, as well as ad-free and early episodes of Stories from the Village of Nothing Much!

Our story tonight is called Chef and Sycamore, and it’s the second part of last week’s story called Pickle Season. It’s a story about an afternoon in the kitchens at the Inn as jars of pickles are lowered into the canner. It’s also about sheets of labels ready to add to the jars, the view of the hammocks in the sideyard, and a kitty waiting not-so-patiently to play.  We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Project Lifesaver [https://projectlifesaver.org]. Project Lifesaver is the premier search and rescue program operated internationally by public safety agencies; they provide timely responses to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children with the propensity to wander due to a cognitive condition.

Our story tonight is called Pickle Season, and it’s a story about a day spent in the kitchen at the Inn, as batch after batch of pickles are made and canned. It’s also about the old farmhouse sink, aprons strings and dill flowers, jars on the pantry shelves, tomato sandwiches and the quiet companionship of a shared chore. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Old Friends Senior Dogs [https://ofsds.org]. They provide loving homes, good food, high-quality vet care, compassion, and comfort to senior dogs for the remainder of their lives.
