The Magic of Colors — Refreshed! Excerpt:

White fluffy clouds dotted the blue sky and sunshine sparkled on the freshly watered plants. A breeze gently rustled through leaves and branches of the trees. Lydia looked out of the window at the bright blue sky. It was a magnificent day! She began to think of all the fun things she could do outside. She could swing, draw a picture, walk, write a story, ride her bike, or read a book. But just then, her dad walked in carrying some paper, two old shirts, and four colorful containers. “I thought today might be a good day for finger painting!” he said excitedly.



Lydia’s face lit up with a smile. “Ooh, that sounds fantastic! May we paint outside?”

Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

Pearl Puffin dives into the water to search for some yummy dinner.



Narrator: Male



Story Begins: 3:57



Puffin Plunge Excerpt:

The afternoon sun peeked shyly over the horizon, casting a warm glow on the cozy puffin burrow nestled just south of the arctic area of Ahway Island. Inside, a symphony of chirps filled the air. Pearl the puffin stirred, stretching her wings with a satisfied yawn. It had been a lovely afternoon nap, cuddling close to her mate, Pauly, and their baby chick.



“Sleep well, Pearl?” asked Pauly. His feathers were still a bit ruffled from sleep, and this made Pearl smile.



“It was a nice nap,” sighed Pearl. Then, she heard a peep peep peep coming from beneath them. Pearl looked down. Their little chick gazed up at her with bright eyes, chirping excitedly, with his mouth open wide. He was hungry!

Felicity Farm Truck finds out that the farmer painted her nickname on her door.



Narrator: Female



Story Begins: 3:35



A Fresh Coat of Paint Excerpt:

Felicity farm truck sat in the garage, ready to go. A few days ago, she’d had a paint job to refresh her paint, and she had been kept inside for a few days afterwards. Today was the first day she would go out and show her fresh paint to the world.



The day started off bright and early.  Her driver entered the garage and started her engine at the earliest light of dawn.  After lots of rumbling as the garage door opened, off they went to the compost pile to pick up a load of rich, vibrant compost.  As they zoomed along, Felicity enjoyed the crisp morning air and the sparkle of dew in the sunrise on the leaves of the trees and bushes.

Terry the Truck is excited for the first scenic drive of the season!

Hello everyone!  We hope you enjoyed our new stories this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “Spring Puddles,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!

Narrator: Male



Story Begins: 8:46



Spring Puddles Excerpt:

Terry the Truck was having a quiet morning. The little truck had been sitting in the garage, wondering what would happen today. With the season turning from winter to spring, his Human Driver had lately been very busy getting Terry ready to go on their favorite scenic drives. For the last two years, beginning after the spring thaws and until the late autumn freezes, Terry and his Driver would take wonderful drives through the countryside. During the last week or so, Driver had been checking Terry’s tires for air; giving Terry clean oil to help his engine, and making sure every little hum, chug, and grumble that Terry made was healthy and safe. It had been a while since he had had this much attention and Terry was excited at the prospect of their upcoming travels. But this morning, Terry hadn’t yet seen Driver.

Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating in a tranquil pool, safe and relaxed, as the water rocks you gently.

Helen goes on a fun-filled adventure to the grocery store where she discovers some new vegetables.



Narrator: Female



Story Begins: 3:36



Culinary Quest Excerpt:

In a cozy little Ahway Island house, surrounded by lush trees and tall grass, lived a girl named Helen. Helen liked to do many things.  She liked playing scientist and finding different bugs in the tall grass behind her house.  She liked acting out stories and playing pretend. She liked playing mini golf. She liked reading books before bed. But one thing that Helen did not like was trying new foods.



Helen was what one might call a picky eater. She preferred to stick to familiar foods she already knew she enjoyed, like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or cheese pizza.

Pal feels bored now that the kids have gone to to school. He decides to ride the bus to find them.



Narrator: Male



Story Begins: 3:54



Furry Field Trip Excerpt:

The sun peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the kitchen floor as the boy and girl bustled about, preparing for the day ahead. Pal, the little puppy, darted in between and around the teenagers’ feet as they bustled about the kitchen. Pal’s tail wagged furiously as he weaved between their legs. He was happy they were up and about on this beautiful morning.



“Watch out, Pal!” chuckled the girl, gently nudging Pal away. The puppy didn’t mind; he just wanted to be part of the action.



“We have to get ready!” added the boy. He and the girl slipped on their shoes and slung bags over their shoulders.



What Pal didn’t know…was what the girl and boy were getting ready for.  Why were they rushing about today?

Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.
