Hit the Lights

Cory's family is down here for the holidays-- and his dad rented the same house they rented for the Wedding. It's out in the "nice" (read: expensive) part of the Cape-- the only part of town that has two-story houses. And no, I'm not kidding. Two-story homes are pretty rare around here.

Anyway, one of the things that Cory and I both like about driving out there is that people in that part of town actually have landscaping-- and they know how to light their yards... or at least their landscapers know how to do it.

Since Cory and I only have a small condo-- with an even smaller "yard," landscaping and lighting realy haven't been a high priority for us. We really wanted to get some little solar lights for our walkway, but never got around to it.

I like the solar lights because they're energy-efficient-- and I never even realized that you can now get outdoor lighting in the form of LED lights. They hardly cost anything (at least, not compared to other lighting), and the lights last forever.

You know, It seems like LED lights are everywhere all of a sudden-- I saw them in the Christmas aisles at the stores this year-- and pretty soon you'll be able to buy LED landscape lighting online, too.

So, gussy up your yard... and save the planet, too!
