Originally aired January 25th, 2024 as Episode 9
Our stories today are from a three-part series called Snowfall at the Bakery, and they follow the Village baker as she readies her neighbors for a snow day. They’re also about a green glove in search of its owner, a secret ingredient in the hot cocoa, a field full of snowmen in the park, dogs and doughnuts, and days to yourself.

Winter Fun
Our stories today treat us to some time in interesting, fun, and beautiful places. We’ll start at the Village Museum, getting ready for a school bus of kids to come for a visit in Museum Trip. Next, we’ll clip on leashes and dog coats and head out for a walk in the winter sunshine in Muddy Paws. Finally, we’ll visit the paths behind the library, listen for the sound of the creek flowing, and the squirrels in the trees, in The Bridge in the Woods.

Romanticized Life
Our stories today start out on in the snow, as toboggans whiz past and saucers slip over the slopes. We’ll make snow angels and tromp around in our boots in The Sledding Hill. Then in The Greenhouse, we’ll put on our gardening gloves and clip roses for a big order for the Inn. Finally, we’ll welcome dear friends at the door and light the candles on the table for Sunday Dinner.

Village Museum Walking Tour
We are doing something a little different with today’s episode, and I hope you dig it. I am going to take you on a little walking tour of a favorite location in the Village on Nothing Much. What? How will that work? Yeah, I don’t know either. We’re going to figure it out together because, yes, the Village of Nothing Much is an imaginary place, a world I built story by story through my bedtime story podcast Nothing Much Happens, but why should that stop us? So you might want to listen to this while you are walking, just stretch your imagination a bit. Or listen wherever you are, just following along with me as I talk our way through the Great House and Village Museum, where the map room sits on the top floor, and the labyrinth awaits in the gardens.

Quiet Winter Kindness
Our stories today are about some of the joys of mid-winter. We’ll start by layering up the
bed to keep the chill out in The Winter Quilt. Then we’ll step out into the fresh air and listen to
some birdsong as icicles drip in Winter Views. Finally we’ll let one good turn lead to another in a
story about snowy sidewalks and grocery sacks called Pass It On.
