I border the rocks across from the swing in candles...looks very nice. I may need to use candles more to economize...sheesh!!! Perhaps we can do a conference call toast on New Year's Eve...I plan to be home.

Burn 'em down. Or, save them for a time when you lose your power in the winter! Or, drag them out when the Summer Solstice comes - on that day we light all the candles in our house to commemorate the longest day of the year. That's what Daisy Buchanan did in "The Great Gatsby", and its a tradition that has stayed with us since.

Seems Mother Nature has flipped things around today. As I plan to put away the decorations next week, I am also planning to clear out as well. Too much stuff in the storage area and "candle" closet. When did I acquire all these candles? What to do with old candles? How many candles does a person really need? And I am sitting in 70 degree temps today.
