Light up your yard with wind.

I was looking at the new post on one of my social blogging sites when I came across a post about wind lights on design spotter. This interested me so I checked out the post then I checked out the product website.

Firewinder is a light that works by using wind Firewinderpower. You can hang it in a tree or on your porch and every time the wind blows you get light. I live in the country and we get a lot of wind, so much that my mother has considered putting in windmills for energy use. In fact the state has some up about 20 miles from my home for energy use.

I think this is a wonderful addition to any yard as you don’t have to worry about wiring and it’s a great talking point for parties. Firewinder is a UK based company so it’s a little more expensive for US citizens but it could be worth it.

Spring is almost here

Good interior design only works if you have good exterior design. Now that spring is almost here and you are starting to think of your garden again it is the perfect time to Order Live Plants from a nursery. Many places will take custom orders right now or at least can direct you in the right direction for what you want.

Yes I know in many areas of the country there is still snow on the ground but you should start thinking about what flowers you are going to plant and where, not to mention you should think about planting a new tree or two if you have the room. Adding plants to the envirionment around your home can help clean the air and make you feel more comfortable. A good shade tree is a must if you like to be outdoors in the summer.
