Welcome to bedtime stories for everyone in which nothing much happens. You feel good and then you fall asleep.

I'm Catherine Nikolai.

I write and read all the stories you hear on nothing much happens.

Audio engineering is by Bob Widdersheim.

We are bringing you an encore episode tonight, meaning that this story originally aired at some

point in the past. It could have been recorded with different equipment in a different location.

And since I'm a person and not a computer, I sometimes sound just slightly different, but the stories are always soothing and family friendly,

and our wishes for you are always deep rest and sweet dreams.

All that is needed from you right now is listening.

Listen to my voice and the simple story I have to share.

And soon you'll be relaxed and asleep.

I'll read it twice and I'll go a little slower the second time through.

If you wake in the night, don't hesitate to turn this right back on.

Our story tonight is called A Mid Summer Afternoons Knapp,

and it's a story about a slow swaying hammock, stretched out between two tall trees.

It's

hydranges turning from pink to blue

and the feeling of being comfortably nestled

in the middle of summer.

Okay, lights out, devices down.

Fluff your pillow and slide down into your sheets.

Anything that's still weighing on your mind, give it to me, hand it over. Okay, I've got it now.
