    Miriam and the Sasquatch - by Eric A. Kimmel
    Oct 3 2024
    Miriam looked over the apple orchard. Autumn leaves were turning yellow and gold. The beehives were full of honey. The apples were ready for picking. Rosh Hashanah was coming. Miriam imagined all the apples and honey on her family's holiday table, as she waited for their guests to arrive. Miriam didn't come to the orchard just to pick apples. She also came to practice blowing her shofar. She could practice in the orchard without hurting anyone's ears. Miriam stood under an apple tree. She took a breath and blew. TEKIAH! SHEVARIM! TERUAH! She heard a sound above her head. It wasn't a shofar. Munch! Crunch! Munch! Crunch! What was making that noise? Miriam looked up into the apple tree. There sat a sasquatch, munching away at the apples. Join Miriam as she seeks to solve her sasquatch dilemma, and in the process learns that our initial impressions of others may be a bit mistaken.

  • Ox-Cart Man - by Donald Hall

    Ox-Cart Man - by Donald Hall
    Sep 28 2024
    Thus begins a lyrical journey through the days and weeks, the months, and the changing seasons in the life of one New Englander and his family. The oxcart man packs his goods - the wool from his sheep, the shawl his wife made, the mittens his daughter knitted, and the linen they wove. He packs the birch brooms his son carved, and even a bag of goose feathers from the barnyard geese. He travels over hills, through valleys, by streams, past farms and villages. At Portsmouth Market he sells his goods, one by one - even his beloved ox. Then, with his pockets full of coins, he wanders through the market, buying provisions for his family, and returns to his home. And the cycle begins again.
