Years ago I installed these types of lights myself but now I'm just not steady enough.  It's not worth it to take a chance on falling and injuring myself. The jobs were so small that I had trouble finding an electrician.  Thank goodness I know a dependable handyman.  He's very honest and does good work. The old post light was crooked and falling apart. Installing this motion detector security light over the garage is as easy as changing a light bulb.  But not for me. Frank the handyman estimated the job to cost about $100 if there were no problems.  He wound up charging me $75.  What an honest man.  He also took away a rotting wooden swing and patched a banister while he was here, no extra charge! This part of the house has two windows that are hidden from view.  I was able to put this light in myself.  There's no wiring. You just position it and plug it in.

Here are a few I've heard of: He was on the horns of an enema. I can assert the truth of it, without fear of contraception.

I've never heard of this holiday before. I guess it makes sense for homemade crafts. Here's a quote from the site which explains it: NATIONAL LEON DAY National Leon Day marks June 25th as six months away from Christmas day.  Leon is Noel spelled backward and is a day some crafters begin planning their homemade gifts and decorations.  It can also be a day for those who miss the winter holidays to have a mini winter celebration in June. HOW TO OBSERVE:  Crafters, get your hot glue guns ready! Start planning your ugly sweaters now to beat the crowds! Use #NationalLeonDay to share on social media.

The tomato plant made a great start.  So did the cucumbers on the left. These two tiny tomatoes are about the size of a pinkie nail. I got up close to see the hair-like details on  the stalk. The cucumbers are doing well, no cukes yet. I love the way the tendrils find a way to hold the plant to the support. The basil plants are about six inches tall now.

From a Distance It almost died one year but then came back with four trunks!
