Something to look forward to

One reason I'm looking forward to autumn is that I like burning scented candles. I know you can do that any time of year, but somehow it makes things seem hotter and more oppressive in the summertime. In the cooler months, though, a lit candle is soothing and refreshing. I love the ambience of a room that is filled with the scent of a fragrant candle.

Plus I get to freak out the neighbors when I dress in long black robes and walk around in the back yard at midnight, carrying a lit candle in front of me, chanting unintelligible things in a low voice.

It's a beautiful thing.

You have some regular candles too, though, right? Those are the kind I'll be needing you to use to drip wax on me...

Mr. Fab: Of course! Let me know when you plan to stop by; I'll be sure to stock up on them.

Candles never seem right in the summertime, do they? It's odd to try and do anything by candle light when it doesn't get dark until 10pm during summer.

Peppermint (Patty): I love how you felt the need to put Jackson's "mall" in quotation marks. :) LOL. Were you referring to Westwood Mall or Jackson Crossing?

Travis: And even after 10pm, it still feels too warm to have a "fire" going... even a tiny one.
