Night Patrol Beacon

Night fell over the flowerbed, and it was getting pitch-black down among the tall grass stems! Just across the dirt, a tiny solar garden stake was poked into the ground, its little plastic bulb glowing with a faint white light. I scrambled up onto the cool, bumpy slate stepping stone right beside it. Standing on tiptoe, I grabbed the ribbed plastic stake with both arms, shinnying up until my feet rested on the narrow rim of the light housing. From up here, the entire pathway stretched out ahead, glowing softly in the dark. Perimeter secured, night watch officially begins!
