Welcome to bedtime stories for grown-ups, in which nothing much 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, with audio engineering

by Bob Wittershime.

Bob and I are heading out on our summer vacations this week, so we are revisiting one of my all-time

favorite stories, and a beautiful summer story.

We'll have a brand new episode for you next week.

Now, let me tell you a little about how to use this podcast.

I have a tried and true method for quieting down your brain and easing you into sleep.

I'll tell you a bedtime story.

It's simple and soothing, and I'll tell it twice, going a little slower on the second

read through.

All you have to do is listen.

Let your mind follow along with the shape of the story.

And the sound of my voice.

And before you know it, you'll be waking up tomorrow, feeling rested, and ready for another

day.

If you wake in the middle of the night, you can listen again, or just think back through

any bits of the story that you can remember.

Now, turn off your light, no more screens.

Slide down into your sheets, and get as comfortable as you can.
