With Apologies to Longfellow

       Between the dark and the daylight
       When the night is beginning to lower,
       Comes a pause in the day's occupations
       That is known as ... the Solar Hour.

    
       Exactly when they should, between sunset at 4:46 p.m. today and darkness at 5:43, the solar lights rimming our front yard and driveway came on, but oh, so symphonically!

       As I finished bringing up the weekly trash barrels from the curb and headed back inside, the three nearest the house were already on.  Would I be able to stand and see the others light up?

       The fourth in line lit up; next the fifth; the sixth and last; with intervals of about a minute, completing the concert on cue, in order! 

       I hadn't ever before seen even one go on.
