The Lantern

My Mother's Day gift was this solar lantern!

It has a stained-glass dragonfly. It has both a solar panel and a battery. And it even came with the long crook to hang it from outside.

Here it is when it is lit up for the night.

I had always wanted one of these outside solar lights, and was so surprised!

“Even the fireflies pause for a lantern.”

Ginny...this is so pretty. Such a neat gift...You can enjoy this Mother's Day gift every single evening ..over and over again, as it lights up. I have some single lights outdoors and I love seeing them at night. I know this put a big smile on your face..

Oooo, pretty. And it's even prettier all lit up. What a nice gift, Ginny. I love the fireflies quote too. When Nel lived in Georgia, she saw them all the time at night in her back yard. They do really light up! Have a sweet Wednesday afternoon.
