The Glow of Magic

Outdoor solar lighting has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years.  Recently I was looking for garden statuary for my garden, and I came across a neat garden statue of a boy with a flashlight looking at a frog.  The flashlight was solar and lit up at night.  I thought 'what a great idea to use solar power in statuary.'

That's only the beginning.

A lovely idea.  So while we're at it, why don't we replace our driveway gravel with glow in the dark stones?

A few years ago, I believe it was Briony who drew my attention to these incredible glow orbs known as Fairy Berries.  At the time, they were cost prohibitive, but now when I looked them up for this blog post, I discovered ThinkGeek now sells them for $20 for a pack of ten.  I...am now tempted.

Scatter them around your lawn, in a tree's branches, in a flower bed....Imagine the possibilities!
