Gathering Around the Hearth: The Gratitude We Grow
In this special Thanksgiving episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, we gather around the hearth — the ancient symbol of warmth, nourishment, and connection — to explore gratitude, community, and the lessons we learn from the changing seasons.
Whether your “hearth” is a wood stove, kitchen table, fire pit, or simply a calm moment at the end of a long day, this episode is about returning to what matters:
Slowing down. Giving thanks. Growing gratitude. Building connection.
Bring your coffee and coffee cake or donuts....let's chat as we learn, do, grow and be a little better everyday!

Lessons Learned from the Harvest
In today's Small Scale Life Live Stream and Podcast, I am going to discuss the Lessons from the Harvest for the 2025 Garden Season.
Like the famous novel by Charles Dickens: "It was the best of times and it was the worst of times."
Ok, that was pretty dramatic.
We had a really great season for some vegetables, ginger and herbs,. At the same time, we had a tough time with other favorites like tomatoes and squash.
What worked?
What didn't work?
What will we do n 2026?
You can find out tonight on the Small Scale Life Live Stream and Podcast. We go LIVE at 7:00 PM Central.
It is going to be fun!
