I don’t know whether it’s the Vernal Equinox marking the switch to more daylight than darkness (locally on the 18th—see Silent Awakening, hemispherically on the 20th) or my recent re-appreciation of my trusty old solar watch (see Out of Time), but I’m particularly aware of solar power on the homestead lately. All of a sudden, I’m rediscovering solar powered devices that have languished in the dark half of the year. I’m trotting them out and putting them back to work. I’ve even acquired some new solar devices, which I’ll feature here in the future.
One I appreciate more for its aesthetics than its utility is a solar night light.
