Candlelight Dinner

This week’s time change brought darkness to our dinners. 

Considering that we are only at the beginning of our dark evenings, I decided to be proactive and bring candle light to our tablescape.

These are handmade beeswax candles – rolled by me – from a kit – which you can purchase. 

(I’ve had this kit for a long time. So long, in fact, that I don’t remember the vendor, but you can find kits like them on the internet.)

Anyway, it feels cozy and good to be putting them to use now. 

Furthermore, we take our family dinners very seriously – which really means that we love to eat. Lighting candles somehow honors (or reflects) the work we put into preparing the meal and the joy we take in eating and conversing together. 

It feels special, and the darkness only enhances the candlelight!!
