I have two daughters  so I really do not know, but I have always been told that little boys are trouble. So two little boys would be double trouble, right?

Well whether they are or not here are two little boys that would love to cause trouble in your solar garden. One pouring the water and the other helping by holding the bowls. They look like little angels, don’t they? The solar sensors turn on at dusk soyou can watch these little guys in action. The solar garden statues of the little boys  will be a beautiful addition to your solar garden.

In early time people set fires at the edge of the water to warn boats of dangerous rocks and shores.  The Egyptians were the first people to build lighthouses to use light to guide ships.  In Egypt in 283 the Egyptians completed the tallest lighthouse ever built.  It guided ships for over 1,500 years and stood 900 feet tall.   Lighthouses were also constructed by the Phoenicians, Greeks, and the Romans.

The early lighthouses used wick lamps as a source of light.  In the olden times the light beam could only travel a few miles.  In 1822 the first modern lighthouse lens was invented by a Frenchman named Augustin Fesnel.  He found out how to increase the light by using prisms.  In 1841 the Fresnel lens was installed for the first time in a lighthouse. This light house is a solar light house. Using solar lights to light the way. This solar light house can be placed  in your solar garden to light the way .

If you have a pool in your backyard, there’s nothing quite as relaxing as going for a midnight dip. That late at night, everything is pitch-black, and it’s often extremely quiet. These conditions make for an extremely peaceful swim. But you want to make sure that your relaxing swim isn’t marred by small safety hazards. For that reason, make sure that you have adequate lighting on the way to the pool, or you might trip or stub your toe trying to get to the pool edge.

Also make sure that you have some floating pool lights. Again, this will offer some basic lighting for safety, but it will also let you see what’s in the pool. After all, anything can fall into the pool if it’s left uncovered, and the lights will let you see if you’re swimming with spiders, bees, or any other animal that might have found residence in your pool. It will also help you gauge where the edge of the pool is so that you don’t inadvertently bump into it while you’re swimming.

Lighthouses warn sailors to straighten their position so they don’t hit land.   They are built on harbors, islands, and beaches.  They act as guideposts for ships at night or in a storm.  The first lighthouse in England was the Eddystone Rock Lighthouse built on a steep rock in 1698.  Since then three more have been built on that location.  The first lighthouse in America was the Boston Lighthouse on Brewser Island in Boston Harbor.  The lighthouse was first lit in 1716, but was destroyed during the Revolutionary War. 

In the past the lighthouse were run by keepers.  When fog came up the lighthouse keepers warned ships by lighting the light, ringing bells every hour or shooting cannons.   Today most lighthouses have lights that run automatically using electricity. Our  solar light house uses solar light from the sun;stores all the energy during the day and releases the light at night so no one stumbles on their way. This light house will shine  as your solar garden lights.

That old saying Spring showers brings May flowers is true. But with the solar garden light flowers you can have spring everyday. Just like real flowers they need the sun during the day but never close at night .Instead they shine all night.The pedals will never wilt or fall off. Light  up your solar garden with the flowers of spring.

Oh my, what a storm we just had here in Pa. At 3:00 this afternoon the sun was shinning and all of a sudden the sky turned black and all the angels started to cry. The wind was blowing so hard I could hardly get back to the house.

My solar sidewalk lights were marking the way for me to get to the house.

I was amazed at how they lite right up as soon as it got dark. Of course I got soaked to the bone but I could see where I was going.

Sitting on the porch at my daughters on  the Eve of Easter. I could not believe how quite it was there. There were lights all over the place. Every house had a light in front of it facing the street. There were street lights up and down both sides of the street.

 No cars going up and down the street , no dogs barking , just plain, blissful peace and quite.

We sat there talking for a while and  the wind started to blow and out of no where there was this sweet chime  of music. In the corner of my daughters porch roof was a set of chimes singing their hearts out .Solar light wind  chimes . The most unusual 

solar wind chimes lights I have ever seen. Absolutly beautiful.

When my wife and I moved to a large plot of lands in rural Michigan, I was excited about the possibilities for development. The house itself was modest in scale, but the surrounding woodlands were perfect for hunting and – thanks to my ambitious plan – they were about to become a backdrop for fishing as well. I hired a contractor to dig a pond several hundred yards from the house, and then called a fish farm to have the pond stocked with rainbow trout.

Every morning without fail, I wake up at 5 and sneak down to the pond in the hopes of catching my evening meal. If the fish are too small, I release them back into the water and give them time to grow. One morning I carelessly stumbled over an ill-placed deck chair and fractured my collarbone. I stayed away from my angling hobby for a few weeks but then purchased some solar pond lights to illuminate my future exploits.
