We tell the story twice and go a bit slower the second time.

Our story tonight is called Thunder and Lightning, and it’s a story about slowing down and getting comfortable as the rain comes down. It’s also about cinnamon and clove, a candle’s flame reflected in a window pane, a sofa turned into a nest for afternoon napping and the calm and quiet that comes when mother nature takes over.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to SEE Turtles. They help the sea turtle community connect, grow, and thrive by supporting community-based conservation efforts.

Season 14, Episode 29

Our story tonight is called New Owners at the Orchard, and it a story about a beloved spot in the village, getting fresh life as apple season is about to begin. It’s also about gathering baskets, pumpkins turning orange in their patch, a push broom leaned against the side of a barn and the joy of making something old, new again.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Humble Design Detroit. They change lives and communities by custom designing and fully furnishing home interiors for individuals, families, and veterans emerging from homelessness.

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.
