A Rainy Morning



When our children were smaller, I would light a candle on cold, dark mornings for the breakfast table. The flickering light added an air of mystery to the day, and I like to think we all headed off to work and school with a bit of a glow in our hearts.

The skies are dark today, a few fat raindrops have fallen and there are more to come. A good time to light a candle and sip a cup of tea as I study.

    What a simple and delightful display. And I am sure the kids enjoyed the special candlelit mornings!

    Lovely, fall arrangement, Lorrie.
    We are enjoying beautiful weather here...it is going to cool down some over the next few days...but still nice. We really have had a lovely fall.

    Take care.
    Hugs, Nancy
