Lights for Your Garden

A couple years ago I went out for a walk after dark. It was lovely and it was just me and my dog. It was very interesting to note that about half the houses on the blocks we perused were using garden lights

and half of them weren’t.

Some were even using the solar variety. Can you imagine that? And can you guess which ones looked better? That’s right: the houses which were all lit up with solar garden lights were stunning in the midnight moon. They were very inviting.

On the contrary, I noticed that if I were a burglar I would’ve preferred to rob the houses that had no such exterior lighting. Those were easy targets. I took note of this and went and purchased some for myself the very next day. Lesson learned.
