Not much sun, lots of rain!
Everything has been put on hold in the garden… we actually have had the heater running! In June! This makes me extra sad because I won some very cool Malibu solar spotlights from a contest on Home Construction Improvement (thanks Todd).
I plan to use them in our front garden to highlight some plantings. We love solar around here and have a lot of solar powered garden accents, but these solar spotlights are pretty different! Usually solar lights have the panel right on the light, but these are set up a bit more like the low voltage garden lights you would install, meaning that they are connected to each other with a wire, and the actual solar panel can be placed a little further off.
Anyway, if and when it stops raining around here I will get them set up and take a photo. And if you are looking for solar lights, or other green options for the garden, check out Amazon’s new Green Home and Garden shop! There are some very cool things I would love to have (adding stuff to my wis hlist as we speak).

This is what happens when I am in the garden and realize that I have a broken fountain, a bag of dirt, and some pansys that need a home! I turn the broken fountain into a fun planter! Super easy project, and the most fun part is that it still acts like a bit of a fountain when the little “pots” have too much water.
