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.

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.

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.

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.

Our stories today take us into the warm Curios Shop on a chilly day, out to the Inn to investigate a dark knot in a tall tree in the side yard, and through the iron gate at the graveyard to read the names on the stones. We’ll sip tea, consider our dreams, find friends, and mend what is broken in Sycamore and the Gravestones parts 1, 2, & 3.

Our stories today take you on a journey for some special residents of the Village of Nothing Much. We’ll start in a cozy kitchen, flipping through recipes at the table when a special delivery arrives in Grandmother’s Grimoire. Then, we’ll stop to look at the moon and discover a hidden treasure along a dark street in The Curios Shop. Finally, we’ll set the kettle to boil and drop an extra stick of cinnamon in the simmering pot as we await a guest in Behind the Curtain.

Our stories today treat you, and only maybe a little trick you, at one of the best times of the year. We’ll start with Halloween, in an Old House, listening for the bump in the attic as we toast our pumpkin seeds, and get ready for visitors at the door. Then, we’ll roll up the sleeves on our favorite flannel shirt and head out into the mowed-down hay fields to visit a friend in Scarecrow. Finally, we’ll get into costume and stop in front of that old house on the corner that never has any lights on, in Trick or Treat.

Our stories today get you out into the fresh autumn air to watch the leaves turn and fall. We’ll start with The Corn Maze or the Say Yes Club, where we’ll travel with some friends out into the country and try our luck at getting lost and then found among the stalks. Then we’ll step into the garden in Rosemary for Remembrance, to cut and cure the gourds, to smell the herbs at the end of their harvest, and to appreciate the nature in and around us. Finally, we’ll put on our helmets and peddle out of town in Autumn Ride, to let the leaves rain down on us and ring our bike bells under the trees.

Our stories today put the final bow on this wedding gift we have been preparing for a few weeks. We’ll start with The Big Day, as the Innkeeper makes her rounds through the corridors, calming nerves, and guiding guests down to the lake. There will be a Best Hound and a Marmalade of Honor, and rows of familiar faces waiting for the music to start. After the vows, we’ll listen to At the Reception, and get ready to feast and dance and raise a glass yes, to the couple but also love itself.

Our stories today pick up where we left last week, as we get closer and closer to a very special event in the Village. We’ll start with Something New, a story about a bicycle ride to a secret spot, a hand-drawn map with an X to mark the spot, and the joy of watching a friend fall in love. Then, in Something Borrowed, we’ll head down into the kitchens at the Inn as the wedding cake is made; we’ll talk about cinnamon and cardamom and a gift made with sugar and flour and love and care. Finally, in Something Blue, we’ll climb up the old treehouse ladder on the sycamore and remember how it all started, with a little orange kitten and paw prints in the snow.

Our stories today start with a find discovered at the village yard sale. We’ll spend an afternoon in a field with a friend, gathering a harvest and greeting the neighbors in The Pecan Tree. Then, in Special Delivery at Weathervane Farm, we’ll check the mailbox and add what we find in it to the fridge door. Finally, we’ll set out to find the perfect gift for the happy couple in Something Old.

Our stories today highlight some lovely spectator experiences in the Village of Nothing Much. We’ll settle into the joy of stepping back and observing. First, we’ll stroll down to the park and toss a blanket over the grass, where we can listen to the crack of the bat as the inning passes in At the Diamond. Then we’ll button up a flannel shirt, stop for a cup of hot cider, and climb to the top section in In the Bleachers. Finally, we’ll settle in on the patio, around the bonfire as it snaps and crackles, and wait for the clouds to clear in Harvest Moon.

Our stories today start in the garden as we harvest a few tomatoes on our way to take the washing down from the line in The Last Warm Days. Then, we’ll shake off a stale mood and find a few small ways to practice joy in A Change of Scenery. Finally, we’ll roll up the cuffs on our pants and step into the sand just as the sun is setting on the lake in Bonfire.

Our stories today take us through some end of the summer moments. We’ll start with Camping out, gathering kindling for the campfire, setting up the tent, and talking through our troubles till they shrink and the stars come out. Next, we’ll step out onto the dock and catch a ride to see the sunset over the river in The Main Sail. Lastly, we’ll sneak down to a secret patch of raspberry bushes just inside a walled garden, and pick a bowlful on a sunny afternoon.

Our stories today are part of a larger arc that started with the most popular residents of the Village, Marmalade the Cat, and her little brother, Crumb the Dog. I’d set out to just tell the next part of their story but found a spark that would eventually lead to love. First comes Raining Cats and Dogs, where we can listen to the thunder, shuffle around the house in the dim stormy light, and contemplate plans for the day. Then we’ll hear Old Friends, a story about a day spent watching movies on the couch, a greyhound in a yellow rain slicker, and a fresh cup of coffee with a bit of sugar stirred in. Finally, we’ll follow the mail carrier through the neighborhood as he delivers special missives with LOVE stamps in RSVP.

Our stories today take us through some gentle adventures for the near end of summer. We’ll start with The Potter’s Wheel, where we can dig our thumbs into the clay and see what can be created. Then, we’ll take a stroll through the aisles of The Corner Store to pick up a few things for supper, stopping to pursue the fizzy drinks and first squashes of the season. Finally, we’ll step out onto The Labyrinth, where we can settle a busy mind, find some space to begin again, and even spy a bit of magic.

Our stories today celebrate some close-to-home summer pleasures. We’ll start with a Yard Sale, pulling our little red wagon along the sidewalks and browsing treasures. Then, we’ll find a shady spot to watch the wind in the branches and doze off in A Midsummer’s Afternoon Nap. Finally, we’ll pack the picnic basket and meet a couple of friends at the park a block away to share lunch and watch the clouds shift in Summer Feast.

Our stories today center around the Inn by the lake and a busy summer day for the Innkeeper. We’ll follow her from the moment she wakes up, up in her third floor bedroom, through her morning duties, serving coffee cake on the screened in back porch. Then we’ll join her as she fills the bird feeders and spies an unexpected visitor coming down the drive. Finally we’ll sneak up to the sleeping porch on the second floor with her and settle in for a quiet read while the guests nap by the water.

Our stories today get you out of the house in the warm summer weather. We’ll start with Back to the Bakery, where we’ll tip fresh bagels from the trays as they come out of the oven and box up a treat for someone special. Then, we’ll fill our water bottles and head to the shore for Beach Walk, where sandpipers race the waves, and big thoughts can help us find our place. Finally, we’ll end the day at the Summer Fair, where kids race by with son cones and booths full of handmade pieces waiting to be discovered.

Our stories today take you through the fruit orchards on the edge of town, to a sunny spot on the back porch, and eventually to dreamland after a good, quiet day. We’ll start with Stone Fruit, where we’ll pick the perfect peach. Then we’ll check the mail, in A Letter in an Envelope, and spend some time flipping through photos and sheets of stationery. Finally, we’ll close the windows as the rain comes down, make a nest on the sofa, and listen to the dog snores in the summer storm.
