Welcome to a special, longer episode of Bedtime Stories for Everyone, in which slightly more happens. You feel good. And then you fall asleep. I'm Catherine Nicolai. I write and read all the stories you hear on Nothing Much Happens. Audio engineering is by Bob Wittersheim. We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to AMA Center of Michigan, helping people meet each of their five basic needs, food, shelter, education, health care, and livelihood, wherever and whenever possible. Learn more about them in our show notes. Here is your monthly dose of extra nothing much in which we give you a two to three story episode on the free feed or a five to six story episode over on the premium feed.

Our stories tonight treat us to many sunny moments in and around the inn. They're stories about a stately home at the end of a long drive, a lake shimmering as rowboats glide across it, coffee cake and names in a ledger, and a place to rest and enjoy some of the sweetest days of summer. I think most of us have gotten pretty good at spotting greenwashing. A leaf on the label doesn't necessarily mean a company is doing right by the planet. That's one reason I appreciate Nature's Sunshine. They back up what they say with things like sustainably sourced ingredients and 100% solar-powered manufacturing. I've been using their Brain Edge lately. It combines yerba mate with botanicals and other thoughtfully chosen ingredients designed to support focus and mental clarity.

Now settle in and be at ease. The day was what it was, and now we are here with nothing to do or plans to make. Just deep, restorative sleep. Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Let it out your mouth. Nice. One more. Breathe in. And out.

Good. Summer at the inn. Full summer was upon us. The trees across the lake were decked with thousands of waving green leaves.

The tadpoles I'd been watching at the water's edge.

had grown through their awkward adolescence, and were now hopping through the high grasses, and their croaking was loud enough to hear from the porch at night. The days got hot by ten or eleven, and the hammocks in the shady side yard filled up after lunch. The inn was booked up, and I'd had to hang the no vacancy sign at the end of our long drive. Many of our guests were returnees, and some had come when they were children, long before the inn's renovations.
