Writers and windmills

Take a look at this beauty, made for my humble garden by my dear father in law. Imagine all the time, patience and craftsmanship that it took to make such a lovely thing.



Windmills are like writers, really. Endlessly spinning in different directions, taken hither and yon by inspiration, and a deep yearning to move someone else. The effort can be beautiful, frenetic, and just plain futile sometimes, but you can’t really choose not to, any more than a windmill can decide not to turn. It just does, because that’s what it was made to do. What wind moves you, friends? Tell me.

That's really nice! Your father in law did a great job. I would love to have one of those in my yard!

My dad has made a number of different types of wind machines, a few small-scale windmills. I don't have one for my yard yet, though. :( The one your father-in-law made is really beautiful!
