> Looking for a new way to brighten up patio parties?

>

> The Bite:

> Just look to the sun. Deck out your yard with solar

> gadgets that light

> up your outdoor life - not your electric bill.

>

>

> The Benefits:

> - No plug required. So no unsightly cords running

> around, creating

> booby trap like trip-wires for sauced-up summer

> guests.

> - With just a few hours of sunlight each day, your

> porch will be ready

> to shine.

> - Self-contained solar lighting systems are safe and

> easy to install.

> - A number of solar-powered devices provide a

> chemical-free

> alternative to pest control.

>

>

> Personally Speaking

> After numerous late-night stumbles and a somewhat

> embarrassing

> introduction to solar power, Heather finally decided

> to get some

> motion-activated solar lights for her rooftop

> garden.
