57/365 Blackout tree


Make something quiet.  We had a blackout for all of Saturday, so when it got dark, we collected every candle we could find in the house and lit them all on the kitchen counter.  With no background noise from electronic devices, it was very quiet and we spent the rest of the evening making paper cutouts by candle light.
