Lighting the Path

The walkway at the hobbit house is long and dark from the street. This is compounded by the fact that I don't use the front door, instead opting to walk around the house to the covered patio.

From day one, I have wanted to put some kind of lighting along the path to at least show the way, even if it wasn't enough to actually illuminate the path fully. So I looked every time I was in the DIY store, specifically solar ones, since I am only rented and didn't want to wire anything, but the prices were always a bit high.

A few days back, I was in our favorite one stop shop and saw these solar lights on sale for 1.99 each and buy two get one free as well...I decided to give it a go and bought 15 of them.

They sat around the house for a few days before I had time to get them out, but they are out now and they work great to show the path. They have a led light in them and a solar cell on the top so they stay lit all night long and turn off in the morning.

You might still need a flashlight or keychain light to see the steps in the dark, but at least these little guys give you a direction in the dark!!
