DH Birthday

Friday and yesterday, after unloading suburban we put things away, hung more stuff, organized more...retirement house is coming along great. I got my spice storage and pantry area ready.  We also moved a large metal panel from In Laws to our house where we will plant something to help shade DH workshop.  I know they were glad to have it out of their small yard.  We also went out to eat with them for DH bday and went to a new park in our little town right next to a lovely spring.  DH likes his gift from me, a solar flag light that goes on the pole.  It was a cool and beautiful weekend.  This morning a nice soaking rain that all our plants needed.  Home to an almost empty house for 3 more nights!  So excited.

  1. I was not aware solar flag lights were available.

  2. We had one before that was plugged in. The solar feature on it essentially told the light to come on when dark out. We will still have the outlet there, but I plan to cover it up with a trellis or something prettier than a broken plastic pot with the light in it. We also have dusk to dawn sensor lights on our back porch that come on when it is dark to light the back of our house while we are away so much. That way, during the day the lights are off, so it is not so obvious no one is there. Can't wait to turn those lights off, as the bugs and thick out there from having lights on all night! The sensor things screw into the light bulb and then the bulbs screw into that. We can turn the light switch on and they lights sense when it is dark and shine and sense when it is light and go off. Pretty handy.
