Too cold and windy here right now (the wind just adds to the chill factor 
now).  Will wait for it to warm up a whole lot more, but not as late as July 
if possible as that them makes it too hot for me to be outside.
I'm a 65 - 75 degree outside type person. Above or below that, no need to 
guess where I am, I'll guarantee you it's not outside.

I have one of those cut and twisted multi coloured wax candles that has faded 
and I use when necessary.  I finally bought some oil lamps to have on hand 
for the occassional power outage that we have.  Found it was easier to have a 
bottle of oil on hand than keep up with candles.  Also it's easier to walk 
with the oil lamp than the candle.

I didn't know that candles had to be cured.  I assume you just let them sit 
for a certain required amount of time before use?
BTW, if you're ever lucky enough to head to Bermuda for a couple of days,
please let me know.
ttyl,
Donna
