Candle light is so refreshing, particularly in these days of modern electricity!<\/p>\n
It’s a dull day here, where we live, and it’s not raining, the wind isn’t blowing very much. It’s about 73 degrees F., but still, it’s dull and lifeless. A day like this the fireplace would be nice to use. Oh, we don’t need the fireplace to be in service … it’s not cool enough outside! But the light would be so incredible!<\/p>\n
One of these days I’d like to get a setup to use candles inside the fireplace. Spring and Summer and Early Autumn could then benefit from the warm, cheery light. I have two pillar candles on the mantle, and they help, but oh the kitchen is gray. I’d love a fireplace in the kitchen!<\/p>\n
Yes, an old fashion kitchen, cooking with fire. Simplicity.<\/p>\n
So, you thought a microwave was simplicity? Far from it. We got rid of ours some time ago.<\/p>\n
We don’t even have a gas stove though. In the modern country we don’t have gas (in subdivisions). I love cooking on gas flame, it’s what a good cook prefers, and it’s what I prefer too. So, when we get a large property with a house already built, or if we build our own, it’ll have a fireplace in the kitchen — with a keeping room along side of it, and a gas stove & ovens, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
