Description
A severe storm system rolled through our area this evening causing fallen trees, heavy downpours and power outages. I found my emergency candles, flashlight, etc. and settled down to a quiet evening. I fondly remembered a power outage that occurred while staying at a friend's cottage all alone. My friend had a wonderful collection of candles and when I lit them the glow of the dripping wax was quite a beautiful sight. The call of loons and quiet candlelight was a memorable evening. Sometimes it takes a thunderstorm to quiet us, cause us to reflect and to find peace.

It makes me think of Sense and Sensibility for some reason. Very cool!
Barbara McMahon replied:
Thank you Leslie! I'm sure that on the wall there is a row of bells that one would ring for service!
