Solar Lights

We thought it might look nice if we added some lighting around our patio and also in the front gardens.  We settled on solar lights because they seem to be the easiest solution.  So we got a bunch from Lowe’s…

Justin picked this kind, they are Portfolio brand.  We got 8 for $68.  We figured we would see how they work and then possibly get more down the road.  Justin literally just popped them in the ground around the patio and then we just let them soak up the sun all day.  Then we waited.

Once the sun went down they lit right up like magic! I think they are perfect, I even like the circular shadows they make on the ground.

They continue around the patio to the other side of the house.  We put four in the backyard and the remaining four in the front…

We need to get a few more to add to the garden on the other side of the front door.  There is only one lone guy on that side.

So far we are enjoying them, we are hoping they last for a while.  We have heard that solar lights have a tendency to die out pretty fast.  Fingers crossed they last a while!
