i purchased a candle today and it smells delicious like warm pine mixed with vanilla - 

a candle scent called "cabin retreat". might sound silly, but it's my favorite situation imaginable. 

in a cabin, houseboat, or even a campsite, with people i enjoy. the scent of food cooking, fresh air breathing in from the outside. flower petals, branches and leaves fluttering everywhere around. a body of water nearby, welcoming our feet or entire bodies for wading, canoeing, and swimming. favorite books packed in suitcases to be read during quiet moments. a guitar leaning against a lawn chair, ready for festivities around the fire later. the sound of more cars pulling in... arriving with new faces and hugs to be shared. cabin retreat, i long for more than just your scent.
