A dark yard. No
moon. A million stars overhead, but the
ground is a dark abyss. Solution: cute
little solar lights! The less expensive (translate
cheap) solar lights have a cold bluish
cast. Being the romantic that I am, I
want a warm candlelight glow among the flowers.
Taking the new set of lights apart and exposing the teensy bulb, I
bathed it in Sharpie marker color. Over
time I have tried yellow marker which produced a sickly greenish phosphorus
color. Then I tried red; too far on the
rainbow scale. Next was a nice rich
orange and that produced the golden glow that I sought.
Painting one-eighth inch light bulbs may not be for
everybody. For me, it provides the
ambiance for those special late evening moments, “This is your last chance to
go, Fido.”
