When It's Cold Out

Supper was done; the driveway was cleared of snow.

There was some Jim Brickman playing quietly through the speakers and I lit the wick on the new “Passion Berry” WoodWick candle a friend had just given me.  I have never had a WoodWick candle before and I absolutely love it!  We don’t have a fireplace in our house but the candle crackles so cheerfully as it burns that if I close my eyes I can almost imagine that there is a full hearth blazing in the corner.    

We pulled out Yahtzee and sprawled on the floor to play the best 2 out of 3. I love those quiet happy moments when the rush of the world fades away, the TV is off, the computer is shut down, and the loudest noise is that of our laugher.

I could really get use to having snow days...
