Changing the Horizon

The blades awaiting to be hoisted up.  It is a Monitor Windmill made by the Baker Manufacturing company of Evansville  Wisconsin.
Going up the middle of the road with the stand
Juice shut his eyes so I wouldn't see him in the jeep.  Concrete bags for planting the windmill legs.  

Some blooms around the grounds.   


The next time you come to the Homestead, you may notice a change on the horizon. I finally found and Marty fixed and repaired this rusty old windmill. Many of you know that I have been looking many years for one. It is not actually pumping water but it could be - as Marty fixed all the parts. I have yet to paint the windmill vane but I'm working on it.  The circular blades and vane will be lifted by a small crane when I get it done.

Beautiful June Weekend


Some of the gals from this weekend.  Thanks to all who came this weekend.  What a 'wooly' group you were!  I loved it!  Dyed this wool with kool aid below.  Recycling at it's finest!









A little jet lag spent on the deck......





Some bushes that are currently blooming outside the retreat. 








Thanks ladies!  Have a great Father's Day weekend - I have off !!
