Spending Time, In the Early Summer
Our stories today take us through some ways folks in the Village are spending their days and evening in the early summer. We’ll start by laying the table under the string lights in the garden and pulling up chairs with friends in The Dinner Bell. Then we’ll see where the night takes us, from the blanket in the part to the lot on the edge of town, with bubbles and blankets in At The Drive-In. Finally we’ll slow down, take some deep breaths and reset by arriving Early to Yoga.

Fresh Grass, Piano Keys, & Ships
Our stories today take us into some rich sensory experiences in the first bloom of spring. We’ll start with The First Mow of the Year, pushing open the garage door and finding a pair of garden gloves to get a day in the yard started. Then we’ll hear Piano Lessons, where we’ll dust down the upright and find a new piece to play. Finally, we’re off to the cottage to watch ships on the river, pedal our bikes along the dusty back roads, and listen to the Shipping Forecast.

Old Houses, Walks & Gardens (Encore)
Originally presented April 15, 2024 as Episode 19Our stories today highlight some of the loveliest simple pleasures of the spring. A walk, a road trip, a day in the garden. We’ll start with one of my all-time favorite stories and one that inspired me to write a whole book (coming soon!). It’s called Old Houses and if you’ve ever walked through a neighborhood and wondered about the stories of the houses you see, the people who have lived there, it is for you. Then we’ll load up the car and head out to The Hideaway for some time at the Cabin. Finally, we’ll gather our trowels and seed packets and pace out the garden in Spring at the Allotment.
