Candles A Glow
As I prepare my post for tomorrow which will be today when you all read it, I find myself without electricity. It appears that a little rain knocked out our power. Granted, the meteorologists were touting the “heavy line of thunder storms producing possible tornadoes” hooey, (am I using my new found word – hooey too much?)did not produce even one thunder clap from above. yet, we sit in darkness admiring the glow of candlelight abound.
I have a huge fascination with candles. Perhaps I lived in another time, years before Benjamin Franklin ever got the notion to fly a kite during an intense storm when candles were the only form of ambient lighting. Candlelight has such a warm glow. A glow that makes everyone look innocent and divine.
It is true, I am known for being the candle girl, woman and now lady. Gladly, I have never started an accidental fire due to my intense passion for mini fires in decorative votives. Over the years, I have scaled down my collection of torch vehicles. Part of me is glad that I have de-junked, but another part of me longs for every single one of my votives and sconces.
So, it is the lack of power and glowing candlelight that has provided me with a post tonight or tomorrow depending on how you look at it. My surrounding are calm. Serene. No background noise from the television or radio. Just the sound of raindrops.

So while I'm happy that you didn't get get thunderstorms and tornados (hooey?) I kind of envy you the candle light!
