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.

Our story tonight is called Pie Making, and it’s a story about an evening at the bakery with ready workstations and clean aprons. It’s also about an urn of hot cocoa ready on the counter, pastry cutters and crimped crusts, and the stages of learning that eventually allow us to play.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the Union of Concerned Scientists. They work using rigorous, independent science to solve our planet's most pressing concerns.

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.
