Consequences of spending time outdoors under the sun are burnt skin, premature wrinkling and late-life skin-related problems. Some ways of spending time outdoors are using the pool, toiling in the yard in the day time, or relaxing on a porch. These are everyday activities which potentially lead to damage in the skin from excessive UV exposure.

Outdoor shade usage is one way to help shield against the damage induced by solar radiation. Among the outdoor shades, a relatively cheap but effective option is the umbrella. The width runs from 8 to 10 feet. Most people first see them around personal home pools. Even better is that contemporary manufacturers are providing a host of accessories which extend the usefulness of these umbrellas.

Near pools, the umbrella is most often configured to be held in place by a hole in the center of a table. However, the center pole obstructs the view of those sitting around. To remedy this problem, manufacturers have designed a side-post umbrella. The pole is placed in a stand away from the table, and a side-arm or side-post extends from the post to hold the umbrella shade over the table. A table is not even needed.

I fell in love with the effects of outdoor lighting at a wonderfully romantic restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. As I recall, the restaurant was called Cafe Des Artistes. We sat in the garden amongst whimsical art sculptures while carefully placed outdoor patio lights snaked up and down the trees. It was likely the first time I had seen rope lights before. I was enchanted. Since that night I have eaten in many other romantic restaurants and have admired the outdoor lighting but nothing compares with my first experience.

At my own house, I have tried to replicate the feel of bringing the indoors out which is what properly placed outdoor patio lights should do. I have met with moderate success and I love to experiment. In choosing your outdoor lights there are a number of things you should always consider. I have tried to list the 4 most important considerations below.

Work can be stressful for anyone. Being inside an office full-time or spending much of the day indoors at home can be stressful. Considerable more good can come from a bit of fresh air. What easier way to relieve stress than to pop out into the garden and enjoy your own personal piece of Mother Nature?

Its hard not to get discouraged when you watch TV about all the upgrades and changes people are making to their yards without getting a bit frustrated, especially if you dont have an unlimited budget. I was there until I decided to do something about it last year. I simply looked at what I could do within my budget and I have been able to do far more then I had ever thought.

Our culture is all about what you cant do or dont have. I decided to put together a list of what I could do, along with a list of what my friends could do as well. Between all of us there was a plethora of experience, knowledge and talent. I knew my friend may not have time to help me but they would be glad to lend me their knowledge and experience and a few tools, if needed.

My wife and I hen made a list of everything we would like to have or see in the yard. It included things like a greenhouse and storage shed but also had some things like raised beds, flowerbeds and a garden area for growing food and a nice sitting area where we could relax.
