About this episode

Our story tonight is called Stone Fruit and it’s a story about a sweet part of the summer season. It’s also about how many pecks make a bushel, lovely silly kid logic, apple blossoms, and vanilla, and picking the best peach with your own two hands.

We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to the National Audubon Society https://www.audubon.org/ “We protect birds and the places they need.”
