Would I be correct in thinking we could all use a bright spot in our lives right now?

How about three of them? From the illustrious Desert Steel who does solar lights like no one else.

And if you’re anything like our family these days….you’re going on family walks just to get out of the house. Six feet away from other walkers naturally.

What else is there to do but count solar lights on your stroll?

How many neighbors have solar lights?
Go ahead. I have time. I’ll wait for you to collect stats! 

Just about everyone has solar lights…right?!

But if they’re not Desert Steel solar lights than they are inferior solar lights.  The creme de la creme of solar lights to bring you cheer not fear.

So I’m ecstatic for you and your chance to win this fabulous set of three solar lights from the incredible Desert Steel~ my go-to for stunning garden decor that lights up my life.

How to enter to WIN!

The real deal on yellow…

Not all shades of yellow are the same. 

​Fact!

​I was just reading in House Beautiful that yellow is one of the most difficult colors to get right. You can say that again because I couldn’t agree more.

For years, I attempted to paint my kitchen yellow with no success. I kept getting the color wrong! A school bus kitchen. Eeeekkk.

Exasperated I switch to chartreuse but didn’t end up liking that shade any better. Hideous actually.

So I threw in the towel and went with a taupe-ish brown. Yellow is that hard!

But not for Desert Steel. They have a natural knack for choosing colors that will thrill you with their spot-on shade.

This yellow? It’s the yellow of the ages. A yellow that you are going to love forever. Who would tire of this hue?

Not I. Not you. I appreciate how Desert Steel chooses colors for their products that will last forever!

​Not only in style but in quality.

Desert Steel to the ends of the earth…

Desert Steel pays attention to detail. They also only use quality materials. All-weather steel construction anyone? 

It’s the perfect marriage really.

And don’t you appreciate how the light is centered in the middle of the flower? These daisy lights add a soft glowing light around your garden edges.

Unlike other products I’ve seen while shopping around for garden decor, Desert Steel flowers closely resemble the real life version. What you actually see in nature and flowering in your garden.

I grow daisies around the perimeter of my home as “filler” perennials. That is, when all else is dead, there they are.

​And let me tell you, these solar lights complement those white flowers magnificently. Come over and see for yourself!

I love how my daisies are white with yellow centers and these solar lights are yellow with white centers. Gorgeous!

​And the two bronze leaves cropping up each side mimic how real leaves would form on a daisy.

Beauty and function. See….you can have it all with Desert Steel!

Daisies are delightful! 5 facts I bet you didn’t know!

1.) Daisies are actually two flowers in one. ​The (usually) white petals count as one flower and the cluster of (usually) tiny yellow disc petals that form the ‘eye’ is technically another.

2.) Daisies are found everywhere on Earth except Antarctica.

3.) Bees love daisy relatives. These include Goldenrod, making them an important ally to those stupendous honey makers.

4.) Daisy  leaves are edible. Some people actually add the daisy leaves to salads. Daisies are closely related to artichoke and are high in Vitamin C.

5.) If left on their own, daisies can become weeds. This is because they can thrive in inhospitable conditions and are resistant to most bugs and pesticides.

But this also means they are easy to grow! My daisies are my “foundation” plants in my perennial beds. So when nothing else is in bloom, I know I can count on them to flower!

Daisy quotes to get you thinking!

The daisy, by the shadow that it casts, Protects the lingering dewdrop from the sun. ~ William Wordsworth

One can get just as much exultation in losing oneself in a little thing as in a big thing. It is nice to think how one can be recklessly lost in a day. ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Be careful of words, / … they can be both daisies and bruises. ~ Anne Sexton.

Never a daisy that grows, but a mystery guideth the growing; Never a river that flows, but a majesty scepters the flowing. ~Richard Realf

It is nice to think how one can be recklessly lost in a daisy! ~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Patience stoutly resists pulling up the daisies to see how the roots are doing! ~ Neal A. Maxwell.

Yellow brings such happiness!

Yellow is such a happy color. Yellow never ceases to cheer when one finds themselves feeling blue!

How about you? Are you hoping to win to perk yourself up? Know what else is going to thrill you?

Desert Steel solar lights have a run time of 10 hours! That’s a long time, folks. They automatically go on at dusk and stay illuminated to the wee hours of the morning.

But the charge time is only 6 hours until they are ready to work their 10 hour magic again.

There’s no wiring required and you can move them around your house and yard until you nail the perfect spot.

Having owned Desert Steel products for many years now I can personally attest that they do not fade and I have yet to see any rust on any of their products.

Some of which (bird feeders) I left out again this winter. Birds eat year-round just like us, right?!?

Besides having a bit of garden dirt on them, they look fantastic. Those eye-popping bold Desert Steel colors still amaze as I gaze.

So if you enter this contest~ I hope YOU win! Best of luck in these strange times.
