It’s about the Innkeeper and her trusty sidekick Sycamore as they ready the Inn for guests on a dark October eve.

Crows & Candles

Our story tonight is called Crows and Candles, and it is the next in this month’s special Halloween episodes. While it isn’t at all a scary story, it is meant to be a bit of balm for those that are grieving, and if that feels too heavy for tonight, that’s understandable, might I recommend The Leaf House from a week and half ago in your queue. Tonight's story is about a walk on a misty day and a place at the bottom of the hill where the gate squeaks when you push it open. It’s also about rosemary and gifts brought by birds, the magic of speaking the names of those we love, and a choice to make friends wherever you go. We give to a different charity each week, and this week we are giving to [Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue] (donkeyrescue.org) .
