“I am resolved to be a good mother to my children, to pray for them, to set them good examples, to give them good advice, to be careful both of their souls and bodies, to watch over their tender minds; to carefully root out the first appearing and buddings of vice, and to instill piety, virtue and true religion into them.“

Mid October Evening...

 I love to sit in the evening with out the lights on and only candles and oil lamps burning...


 There is a loveliness that cannot be conveyed with my old camera...


 Tonight, we are watching Lark Rise To Candleford, and the candles are burning...



 Preparation for Sunday is underway - showers, food, clothes...


Soon it will be time for a chapter or two of The Happy Golden Years, and the braiding of hair, bedtime prayers, and hugs and kisses.

Lovely light... Which episode of Larkrise to Candleford? I must get out my list and start rewatch them. Larkrise to Candleford was a Godsend last winter for me.

If i tried having only candle light and lamps Geoff would be saying "where's the light? I can't see what i'm doing." =) I'll just have to come visit you and get my candle light that way. =)
Have a good night!
