Thankful Sunday--December 9, 2012

I am thankful for this outdoor timer for our lights.


Several years ago Ward got this outdoor timer that we plug our Christmas lights into. It turns on automatically at dusk and turns off later at a setting we select. It works wonderfully. Before the timer, we had no routine of turning on and off our Christmas lights except whenever we remembered. Now they turn on and off like clockwork. (Pun intended.) The timer is especially nice when we travel at Christmas because our lights still turn on and off as if we were home.

  1. Well worth the investment if it helps you to control how long they are left on.

    1. We got it long enough ago that we don't remember the price, but Ward thinks it was between $10-$15. At the time he didn't want to spend the money on it, but it has been worth every penny.

  2. We need one of those for our turtle tank - we're always forgetting to switch it on and off. I like your lights, they're very nice, makes me think I should go for a drive and look at some :)

    1. I was thinking the same thing that it's time to go look at some of the neighborhood lights. I hope you get a chance to. You are kind of busy right now.
