In this original story for the Listen To Sleep Mountain series, we’ll share the peace and quiet of a typical autumn morning here on the mountain with the sound of the creek in the background. In 2023, every month, I’m going to read at least one original story for you that I wrote myself. The stories are about life here on the mountain, ours as well as all the animals, with some fiction and maybe even a little fantasy woven in. For these episodes, I’ll be reading each story twice, once at my normal pace and then once again a bit slower, much the same way Kathryn Nicolai does with her original stories about the village of Nothing Much in her wonderful bedtime story podcast, Nothing Much Happens. She has been such an inspiration and a friend to me and if you haven’t yet heard her podcast, I highly recommend it.
