There is a section of trees along one side of our house. I love the solar fairy lights and tried one last summer. Little by little I added more and more and now have 28 trees twinkling from sunset to sunrise.
They run from the street to my patio in the backyard.
I know they aren’t for everyone, but I have gotten so many compliments from neighbors, friends, and family. Even hubs loves them
Excuse the mess in the yard. I intend to have mulch and flowers put in this spring.
By the way, our son had the best birthday he ever had. Hope to fly back to celebrate every year. The weather smiled on us all

I only see some dots perhaps lights and everything else is dark.

How lovely. They match the twinkles in your hair. Glad that your son had a good birthday. Wishing you a wonderful week.

@LindaOHio It’s what you would expect - sunny and 81. Humidity is 67%. Perfect!
Connecticut had no snow to speak of. What little we had never stuck to the road or melted quickly. Fairly mild so far, although that will change in February and March.

@DianneN How's the weather there? It's very cold here. It's going to heat back up into the 40s though. Except for that brutal Christmas storm, it's been fairly mild this year.

It's very pretty. We have dusk to dawn lights at our place but they're not decorative. They're just very bright. Our intention is to keep the bad guys ( and gals ) away from our home.

@DianneN Thanks Dianne.
I've been doing okay. My husband and I have dealt with Covid for the better part of December but we have recovered for the most part.
I'm just getting back to myLot; again.
I seem to take quite a few breaks from the forum.
At any rate, I'm glad to see you too. I think I remember that you took a little time away. I hope that you and the family are all doing well.
Oh yes, by the way, our lighting system seems to be working out well. We have a canopy/tent in our front yard that we're using for shade as we work on a few home projects. The tent has been left outside overnight for the past two nights and so far, it is still in the yard the next morning. 
I just hope that I don't eat my words, since it's still out there.

@betlynfrnds So sorry you both had covid. That’s terrible.
Yes, I had no time to be on myLot. My life was sucked up by major work in and out of the house.

Hope you don’t have to eat your words. Enjoy your tent and your home projects. It will be worth it in the end

It looks interesting... And I'm sure the yard will look beautiful when you get done with the mulch and flowers.
I would offer you some of the sleet and icy rain we're getting now but I'm fairly sure you don't want it, either. I just looked out my bedroom window and we're getting snow now. *sigh*1 person likes this

@DaddyEvil Thank you. At least there is no snow in the forecast, which I always fear.

Thank you and they don’t cost a thing where electricity is concerned.
My son was smiling constantly. We all had a great time. Today, his girlfriend left with her mother and brother for two weeks in Ecuador. My son can’t go, because he’s too busy with work

The lighted trees look really lovely. Glad you enjoyed your son's birthday. Does he stay in your city?

Thank you! The trees look so pretty lit up at night.
My son lives in the same town as us, but we leave him to stay in Florida during the cold months. It was so nice spending time with him. We probably won’t return to our state until the end of April.

@DianneN Is Florida warmer than your city? Have a good time with your son.
