A moonlit walk an d what is going on at my house!
After realizing I had not checked the mail, I took a walk yesterday evening! I should have taken my camara and prayed for good pics!
Jacob went with me. It was cold and crisp. A nice Texan winter day! Our house sits low so I am unable to see a sunset from our home. As we walked yesterday I could see the last traces of the sunset up in the branches of the trees. With winter here and the leaves gone it was so beautiful to see the light lavender contrast against the dark empty branches in the night sky. Jacob and I stopped for a moment to listen to the owl and to enjoy the moon over us.
As I walked up to the house, I wanted to embrace the scene. My house was lit up and reminded me of candles in the dark. Our house is dark, so with the lights on at night, all you really see are the lights glowing. I felt like our home was a candle by the lake.
And speaking of candles--I have really enjoyed lighting them! I bought a candle warmer and right now I have a Yankee peppermint candle on there! It smells so nice! My other favorite candles are "fresh snow" which was a seasonal candle from Wal-Mart. I have two boxes of their candle sets as well as a few extras I received in my stocking because my mom knew how much I like them. Yesterday I went through the house and lit the candles!
We have flipped our bedroom and living room. We now sleep in the room with all the windows!! I am adjusting but I do like it! I have candles on my window sill. My husband does not care for candles, but he may need to get over himself! LOL He doesn't "hate" candles, but he always asks me if I am calling the dead! *sigh* MEN!
We are adjusting to our cozy little living room and I enjoy having the computers in the living room instead of my bedroom! I no longer feel like my bedroom is an office with a bed! I now feel like I have a real bedroom and our living room is more like an entertainment center!
Well I need to mosey on! I have a new blog about my years goals if you care to read! www.xanga.com/threehundredsixtyfivedays
