Sunset ~ The Other Rechargable Light Bulbs

 

We had the most beautiful sunset last night, but I just caught the tail end of the beauty.  My Mom used to text me whenever there was a photo worthy sunset, and tell me to go take photos of it (I'd be inside by then in the winter time).


These light bulbs are different from the ones we put in the old antique rose lamps (those you charge using a charge cord, and lamps do not need electrical cords).

I bought them at our area Menards (Lowes has something similar I believe).  You can either charge the bulb with the enclosed charge cord, or they self charge while installed in a lamp that runs on an electric cord.  If the power goes out, the charge goes into effect and works for so many hours.  You also get a remote control for the bulb, and an attachment to screw onto the bulb itself, in case you need to hang the bulb in another room if the power goes out.  It has a power button, with 3 light settings if you need to use the bulb in another room without the lamp itself.

Just sharing an update.  I charged both bulbs to make sure they worked, and they work great.

That is a stunning sunset, straight out of God's crayola box. I don't get to see sunset, but sunrises, and love to take pictures of them, they are once in a lifetime moments, will never be seen again. Thank you for letting me know the link for the cheesecake didn't work, I've found an old posting with it, and it will be in Monday Happy Homebody posting. I hope that link works.

I’ve been eyeing those bulbs - 💡 I’d like to start replacing my bulbs with some of these.

Because of your previous post about the rechargable bulbs I bought one for our screened porch. We have 2 specific conversation areas there and only one of them is near a plug. We do have overhead lighting and edison lights, but needed a little more light by the area with no outlets. I had an older floor lamp and had no use for it, and it is perfect for out there. Thank you so much for the "education".
BTW Son1 was here when the bulb came and he ordered one for his home office. He needed more lighting and a 100+ year old house never has enough outlets. I suspect he will be buying more of them.

A beautiful sunset. Those bulbs sound interesting. I'd like to get a solar charging lamp for our table in the camper. I like the soft glow it puts out at night when we're outside and makes the inside look so welcoming.
Blessings,
Betsy

Debby, I found them at Lowe's and Menards, but they might be at other stores like Home Depot or even Walmart.

Anne in teh kitchen, that's great! I thought it was a genious idea for places with no outlets or very little outlets.

Betsy, I bought a few solar charging bulbs off Amazon, but when I got them, I realized that each bulb was a different brightness. I thought they were both the same light, so I will be buying another for the chicken coop.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart

New Recipe Tried and other Bits

  I tried a new granola recipe and boy it's good.  First, it's a recipe from Mennonite Girls and Cook, and called "Backpack Snacks" online.  It calls for granola, so I used my homemade granola that we love.  Picture is the dry ingredients. Second, I pressed the final mixture into a 9 x 9, parchment lined baking dish instead of rolling it into balls.  The color of these photos are all different, because of the time of day, and how dark the house was from the thick Canadian smoke that was still outside at the time. These cut very nicely, and were very good, straight from the refrigerator.  It was hard to eat just one of them.  I will be making this again, and switching out the peanuts with walnuts, and switching out the raisins with dates.  Oh my!  The binder is honey and peanut butter. These are perfect for your hiking days, camping, your grandkids, or just for snacks when you want one. The rain arrived thank goodness, and washed the smoke in...
