My Amazon Orders

-

 Here’s an Amazon order that I absolutely love! (click the link below)  A few years ago when we moved out of our condo (with no backyard) into our current house (with a backyard), I discovered that I had an obsession with solar lights!  This is one of the lights that I love.  I got these on Amazon, but this wasn't the same seller, however, the lights look similar in design, so I believe it's the same maker, but just a different seller.  See below the picture of the use of one of them.

 One of the reasons I love these is because they change color.  It gives a nice blue-ish and purple color, along with others.  If you see the little plant on the left in the background, they can light up your plants nicely with a colorful glow.

 Now look at the picture below.  One of my favorite reasons for having solar lights in the yard is security.  Before having any lights in the backyard, I never liked looking in the backyard and just seeing complete darkness.  I never knew what could be out there waiting for me!  Of course, that's just the paranoid side of me, but I like being able to see what's out there.  Another security reason is if the power goes out.  I pointed one particular light directly at one of our windows.  This is because if the power ever goes, I at least have the glow of this light through the windows.  Of course, everyone has their phones nowadays, however the kids don't and will need to find their way in the hallway if needed.  Or in my case, I don't want to be caught in the shower and the lights go out!




In case you couldn't tell, I love buying from Amazon because it comes so quickly! Especially when you need something the next day, right?! Here's my disclaimer: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Water Time!

If there's any one thing to add to a garden to really enhance the ambiance, it would definitely be a water feature.  But what about a water feature that doesn't use up any of your own electricity?  That's where the solar fountain comes in.  I bought mine a few years ago, so it's looking quite aged as you can see, but it's still working and I get to hear the constant sound of running water in my backyard, as long as the sun is out, of course!  The one I have has interchangeable fountain heads where you can get a shower type effect.  My shower effect was a little too wide for the dish I was using it for, so I just found a piece of old tubing and stuck it in the fountain to get the effect you see in the picture.  This way the water will stay in the pool without having to constantly refill.  See below for similar Amazon fountain.  Here's the link.. This fountain looks pretty much the same as the one I bought a few years ago, so I believe it's probably the same m

Past Order - when old becomes new

  Sometimes things get older and fall apart. It happens all the time. As I've posted in the past, I love my solar lights, but that means they always need to be outside and in the sun in order to function properly. What that means is after weeks and years of the sun beating down on these things, they fall apart. I have some lights that are starting to fall apart. They are lights that are in a shape of a flower. The solar plates and the LED lights are fine, however the plastic shell that forms the flower have been crumbling. So what do you do with it? It looks a little strange with just the light itself. Here's what I did. I had an old IKEA lamp that wasn't usable anymore. I trashed it, but I made sure to keep the light cover of it (I don't know the technical name of it... let's just say the white cover part! haha). As you can see in the picture, below, I put the solar light inside the lamp cover and it made it glow nicely at night! Check out the video too! T

 Ok, it's been a while since posting anything.  Obviously, much has happened in the past two years since COVID has started.  There's another addition to the family, we've experienced having COVID, and plenty of other things.  Perhaps one of the biggest things that happened was that we purchased the house that we're in.  So now we finally get to do some upgrades to our place.  The projects that we got to do ourselves, well, surprised us a little how well it turned out!  One of the tasks was to remove the wallpaper in our kitchen.  We had this grassy wallpaper and when scraping under it, we discovered another layer of wallpaper.  Our home is old (built in the '40s), so it was interesting to see the "history" of the walls.  One product we used was this: https://amzn.to/3JVhN6Y This thing was amazing! It saved us so much time.  We were trying to use a spray and scrape off the wallpaper.  That was taking too long.  Luckily, my father had the wallpaper steamer a
