Our story tonight is called Pickle Season, and it’s a story about a day spent in the kitchen at the Inn, as batch after batch of pickles are made and canned. It’s also about the old farmhouse sink, aprons strings and dill flowers, jars on the pantry shelves, tomato sandwiches and the quiet companionship of a shared chore. We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to Old Friends Senior Dogs. They provide loving homes, good food, high-quality vet care, compassion, and comfort to senior dogs for the remainder of their lives.

Welcome to Bedtime Stories for Everyone in which nothing much happens.
You feel good and then you fall asleep.
I'm Catherine Nicolai.
I create everything you hear and nothing much happens.
Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim.
We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Leader Dogs for the Blind.
They believe that everyone deserves a life of independence and mobility.
All of their services are provided free of charge, which means that no one is excluded from living their most fulfilling life due to lack of funds.
Learn more about them in our Show Notes.
