melting old candle butts to make new ones has been one of my forever projects, because there was this idea in my head that i need to find an old, small pan just for the purpose. i learned a simpler solution from my housemates in ireland, to use a tin can in a pot of boiling water. duh.
i lit a few lanterns on the apple trees before dusk. peeked outside to check on them and saw a sky full of stars accompanied by a crescent moon. heard heavy steps from the woods, perhaps that moose again? i whistled, but no one came running...
i wish i had a big chunk of beeswax, it makes the best candles. i'd make those little votive ones.
