  • Pic for Bryan..Malibu lights

    I'm interrupting the visiting with family pictures to post this for Bryan.  When he was visiting, he noticed that we have a Malibu light transformer box in our backyard, next to the electrical outlet.  I had seen some scattered wiring around, but it looked so old and dusty, I figured it didn't work.. but he encouraged me to try it.  So I got a light and plugged it into some of the wire and it WORKED!  Lo and behold!  And I didn't get shocked while I was figuring it out.    Now we have a total of five lights.  There's some wire, though, that's not working so we have to dig it up and find out where/what's gone wrong.  Ugh.  But here's a pic, per Bryan's request.  It's hard to take pics of the lights at night, so I did my best.  I only have a couple that turned out really.. not very impressive, I know, but here's my latest project in the backyard..

    ..you can't really tell in that picture, but anyway, there they are Bryan!  You'll have to come back and visit soon, so you can sit out there and enjoy the ambiance. haha

    Love and miss you guys.. along with all of our family we got to visit with recently.  We've had colds or allergies or both since we got home from Santa Rosa .. but we are slowly recovering from our very busy and fun last three weeks!

    That's all for now! Talk to ya later!

  • Wonderful!!  Great that you got to see family!!!  Woooo Hoooo.

  • @Neeka1 - Thanks Neeka!  Are you enjoying your visit with Chile girl?

  • @rnkelli - We are having a great time ~ getting to know each other in 'real life' too.

  • Yeehhaww...they worked.  I am a landscape lighting freak as you know.  You need more more more!!  I expect bigger and better now that I know you know how to get them installed. HA!

  • @oeshpdog2 - I want more more more, too!  Unfortunately, there needs to be more more more trimming and clipping of all the overgrowth to be able to make sense of the rest of the wiring, and I have been working on that, little by little.  Also unfortunately, it aggravates our allergies I think.  I think there is YEARS worth of pollen stuck in all of that creeping fig that's overgrown on the fence, and all over the ground, with years of leaves and pine needles stuck in it.  And spiderwebs blanketing things, ick.  Impossible to even rake on the ground without getting tangled up in it.  bleh.  I have been a trimming fool.  A sneezing trimming fool.
