    Ladybugs & New Leaves

    Ladybugs & New Leaves

    Our story tonight is called Ladybugs and New Leaves, and it’s a story about a day in the yard at the potting bench. It’s also about learning to read the leaves of plants to understand what they need, things found in the checkout line of the hardware store, shiny red wings and black dots and recognizing that from time to time we all need a fresh start.

    We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Showers for All. The Showers For All mobile trailers provide showers and laundry to those living on the streets of Denver. Full-service bathrooms and multiple washers & dryers deliver a critical and often forgotten service to those struggling with homelessness and poverty.

    Bullfrogs & Birdsong (Bonus)

    Bullfrogs & Birdsong (Bonus)

    Our story tonight is called Bullfrogs and Birdsong and it’s a story about a lit window shining in the dark on summer evening. It’s also about a creek that teems with boisterous life even after the sun has set, making your home into a sanctuary for self, owls and lilacs, clothes pins and mockingbirds and a small moment of awe.

    Dandelions & Mayapples (Encore)

    Dandelions & Mayapples (Encore)

    Our story tonight is called Dandelions and Mayapples, and it’s a story about a trip down to the creek on a spring afternoon. It’s also about a bench on the bank where the sound of the water echoes, rhododendrons, and stone steps, and giving yourself the grace to ebb and flow.

    Date Night

    Date Night

    Our story tonight is called Date Night, and it is a story about a bike ride to a place where X marks the spot on a hand drawn map. It’s also about lavender lemonade, minnows in the shallows, wagging tales, and a toast made while the dogs wind a leash around your ankle.

    We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to ChiHaven of Michigan. “We are a foster based rescue. We may be small but our hearts are big. Our mission is to restore each rescued dog's faith in humans.”

    Opening Up The Cottage (Encore)

    Opening Up The Cottage (Encore)

    Our story tonight is called “Opening the Cottage,” and it’s a story about the first day back in a well-loved, familiar place. It’s also about the little traditions that make up the history of a family, a sandwich eaten on the end of a dock, and the soft, happy feeling of summer arriving.

    So get cozy and ready to sleep.

    Tell The Bees

    Tell The Bees

    Our story tonight is called Tell the Bees, and it is a story that so many of you have asked for. I know that the podcast has seen many of you through difficult times, and often, you’ve asked for a story that might be a balm to a heavy or grieving heart, and this is my first attempt at that. If you want to avoid any heaviness tonight, that’s understandable. Marmalade and Crumb are always there for you instead. Tell the Bees is a story about a long walk through the clover on a path toward good listeners. It’s also about a rosebush with a new home, four-leaf clovers, a house with shutters and gopher trails, and saying things aloud when you’re ready to take your finger out of the dam.

    We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Wellness Together, which is working to provide integrated mental health interventions for every student who needs help every single day.
