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

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. 

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Movember Foundation; they are more than mustaches, folks. They are taking on men’s physical, emotional, and mental health globally.

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.
