I have a string of red chilli lights that hang in the kitchen which I leave on day and night throughout the year. They use a very tiny amount of power but looks so bright and cheery. They have been burning brightly for the past four years, and I can't believe just how long they have lasted.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-77777747451270692892020-02-08T01:44:09.854-08:002020-02-08T01:44:09.854-08:00Glad you were able to adapt the lights.

This is such a thoughtful and thought-...Hi Lorrie,<br /><br />This is such a thoughtful and thought-provoking post. The poem definitely speaks to the darkness and melancholy that winter can bring. Hal and I read years ago that it's not the cold that affects people so much, as the lack of light, in winter. That's certainly true of me! Our house doesn't get a lot of natural light, and so I have lamps on all day in the winter -- mainly in the den and kitchen where I spend most of my time. My mom fusses at me about using too much electricity, but we have switched to all LED bulbs, so I don't feel a bit guilty.<br /><br />I love the lights around your window -- such a cheerful addition! Your flower photos are so pretty, and they make me look forward to spring. :) I like seeing people's lighted, cozy homes through the windows, too. They're a beacon in the darkness many times.<br /><br />Thank you for your visit today; I hope you have a lovely, cozy weekend!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttps://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2020/02/the-winter-dining-room-and-new-piece-of.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-43243750351033929682020-02-07T10:54:06.681-08:002020-02-07T10:54:06.681-08:00Hi Lorry, I love your blog, which I visit frequent...Hi Lorry, I love your blog, which I visit frequently, but have not commented previously.
