Twinkle lights

Hello my friends, how are you?  We finally have a clear day today after lots of rain, but still very overcast and gray.  I have been feeling the need to get out in the garden and do something, even if it's just pulling weeds.  Does the garden ever call to you?  Galen thinks I'm crazy, but I find it very rewarding and therapeutic.  


I decided to restring twinkle lights outside in the jasmine over the back porch.  The lights will usually last about six months so I only have to replace them twice a year.  They went out two nights ago.  



I twist the lights through the vines starting at the bottom, taking them up and over the porch door and ending near the pergola.  It makes the prettiest light at night.  No matter how dark it is you can always see without turning a harsh overhead light on.  The twinkle lights create a nice ambiance.  



Lights are done....now maybe I'll go pull those weeds.    

Enjoy your day!

Night lights

Evening settles in with a peacefulness.


Warm lights aglow.


I light a candle on the back porch and sit awhile.



The garden comes to life with little white twinkle lights strung in the tree branches.




Darkness falls.
I go inside and get the coffee ready for the morning.


Nodding off while reading my book, I turn the lights off.
