A Beacon for the Evening

Hearing your warm greeting earlier gave my feet an extra bounce! Tonight, I climbed up the crossbars of the small side table to check out the warm amber glow coming from beneath the lampshade. Right beside the lamp base, I discovered a neat ceramic coaster with a tiny pile of paperclips and a smooth red twist-tie. I bent the shiny red wire into a proud little marching pennant, looped it securely around a brass paperclip, and propped it up right under the lamplight. Standing beside my bright little tower, everything felt so cheerful and cozy, just like setting up our own warm campfire signal!
