W is for Windmill

Letter W is our subject letter for this week on ABC WEDNESDAY.   My sweet niece gave us this WINDMDILL and we picked it up a few weeks ago.

They purchased a home a few years back and the windmill was in the yard.   She knows how much I love my Kansas garden and thought it would be a nice addition.

 

Right now it is setting in the corner of my strawberry patch.

 

 

I haven't decided if I will paint it, my hubby thinks I should but I really like the aging.  I mean how many farmers get out and paint their big windmills!

 

 

 

It  looks right at home with our tin man.

 

I have a coffee table book by J R Hamil who does watercolors of Kansas.

 

One of the paintings he did of a windmill.

"These Windmills on the prairie bring life giving water to the cattle grazing the Flint Hills"
