Stories from the Village of Nothing Much NMH Premium+

Our stories today take us to one of the most popular spots in the Village, the Inn. We’ll start by chasing the morning mist, wading out to row boat and watching the swans at the shore in The Lake at the Inn. Then we’ll wind our way back to the dock, and enjoy a slow barefoot walk through the grass around the old house, till we find a spot for a perfect summer’s day nap in From the Hammock. Finally we’ll go across town, to a house where a friend is packing something up to spread some cheer and chase away homesickness, in the Care Package.

Our stories today celebrate some of the joys of being outside in the changing weather of the summer. I wrote the first one, Wind and Wildflowers, a couple of years before the second two, which are meant to be heard together as a two-part series, but I realized they feel like they are happening at the same time and since many of our storylines cross over one another, I suggest we think of these two narrators as neighbors, each enjoying the heat and then the cooling air and rain from their porches. They might wave at each other when heading out to their mailboxes, if one has a bumper crop of summer squash, a basketful will appear at the other’s door. In winter, when the days are short, they take comfort from the lighted window of the other.

So let’s visit them, first in Wind and Wildflowers, we’ll hike the trail behind the house, listen for woodpeckers and watch the grasses sway in the wind. Then, in Rain and Shine, we’ll finish up some work in the garden, take a long hot shower, and eat dinner on the porch as the storm rolls in. Finally, in Hummingbird, after a good night’s sleep, we’ll step outside with a glass of iced coffee and meet the morning and any visitors coming to breakfast from the flowers.

Our stories today have a bit of magic in them. Whether it is the mundane sort, like minnows swimming in schools beside the shore, or the more unexplainable type, like millions of fireflies blinking in unison. We’ll start at one of the favorite locations in the Village, with the original story of the Innkeeper, as she looks out from the porch and guests begin to stir up in their rooms. Then, we’ll head out with our trowel and net to find some small treasures in the sand in The Beachcomber. Finally, we’ll set out after the sun goes down to commune with the lightning bugs in Fireflies on a Summer Night.

Our stories today are about finding the right gift for a special moment and letting your imagination wander along the way. We’ll start with a red envelope waiting in the mailbox (it was delivered just one episode back in Daydreamer) and the party it announces in Housewarming. Then, we’ll step into the stationary shop downtown and pursue the pencil aisle in Housewarming pt 2. Finally, we’ll deliver a lovingly wrapped gift and step out onto the patio with the perfect chilled glass of tart and sweet lemonade at the Garden Party.

Our stories today are about some of the delights of late spring and early summer. I should say, if you are new here, that all of our stories take place in the same universe, and sometimes you’ll recognize a narrator from a previous tale or see some overlap of storylines. We’ll see that today. We’ll start with The Lilac Thief as she pulls off a heist on a dusty country road. Then we’ll step out onto the porch and enjoy the gloaming in Strawberry Moon. Finally, we’ll revisit the reformed thief as she shares her favorite flowers from the Lilac Grower.

Our stories today are about the joy of imagination and the creative ways people can add magic into life. We’ll start with a cup of coffee and some time at the window in Daydreamer. Then we’ll stroll through downtown as warm weather brings villagers out to play in A Dance in the Park. Finally, we’ll step into the school gymnasium to pick out some new reads for the summer in Book Fair.
