Autumn at the Inn, Part 3
Our story tonight is called Autumn at the Inn, Part Three. And, you guessed it, it is a continuation of the last two episodes. Though you don't need to go back and listen to those if you slept through them, which I hope you did. This is a story about arriving somewhere you've never been, but where you feel instantly at home. It's also about eucalyptus and chamomile, a thick blanket at the foot of the bed, ducks on the lake, meeting a new friend, and a meal shared in the moonlight.

Chef and Sycamore (Encore)
Our story tonight is called Chef and Sycamore, and it’s a story about an afternoon in the kitchens at the Inn, as jars of pickles are lowered into the canner. It’s also about sheets of labels ready to add to the jars, the view of the hammocks in the side yard, and a kitty waiting not-so-patiently to play.

Autumn at the Inn, Part 2
Our story tonight is called Autumn at the Inn, Part 2, and it’s the second in this series, though you don't need to go back and listen to Part 1, if, I don't know... you might have slept through it? Nothing much happened in it. This is a story about a train ride, through changing fields, an old station wagon packed-full of pies, a sketch of the moon on the pages of a journal, wind and waves, and a week full of adventure ahead.
