Day 95 - Candles

I love candles. Any kind. Scented. Unscented. It doesn't matter. Everything looks so cozy and romantic by candlelight. But I am a bit picky about my scented candles. I typically don't like candles that smell like food. I make the occasional exception for vanilla or baking scents. And I love my kitchen candles. Any time I make food (like tonight) that has a smell that lingers, I light a candle in the kitchen and our bedroom. I don't like to go to sleep with the smell of that evening's dinner haunting our room. Tonight there is the light fragrance of powder and lilac in the bedroom. And it looks so pretty, flickering gently. Candles bring me simple, sweet joy.
