I debated on the red one and the green one, I think that they are both so pretty, but this one looked the most authentic and I wanted to paint the tail, so it worked best for us. We have been enjoying looking out the window and seeing the windmill turning. We can see it from our bedroom window.

Like, I used to be a perfectionist, especially about the house . . . now I am so laid back that it is almost scary. Steve used to be so sloppy and now he is so much better about picking up after himself that it is a pure blessing. We even find ourselves spending the day apart but thinking the same thoughts . . . it's kind of nice when that happens.

Your place is fixed up so nice. Did you and Steve plan everything out ahead of time or did it just kind of evolve?? Are you the one with all the ideas or does Steve have an input too?

So, finally I got my wish, it's not a tree but it will last for a very long time and I love it :) This is an 8 foot windmill and it is the first one on their site. We debated on the red or the green one, but I think that this one looks more like the vintage ones. Our neighbors have one and he removed the tail of his and I am going to paint it for them with the name of a windmill company that his father worked for back in the day :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-61236632696916829632016-04-05T07:16:52.120-07:002016-04-05T07:16:52.120-07:00Thank you . . .
