Hidden Treasure

       My father-in-law made it for my husband when he was a little boy playing farmer in the middle of the living room.  Since that little boy grew up, the windmill has been sitting in the basement collecting dust and rusting away.  This winter we dug it out and spruced it up to look like new again.  Now it is standing tall in the nursery where Evan looks at it every time he gets a diaper change. 

      The windmill is about two feet tall with blades that spin like a fan and turn around in any direction the wind might be blowing.  Plus the tail turns back and forth too.  
       My husband recalls putting it in front of the fan at night and listening to it spin all night long.  Can't you just picture his little boy in his Ninja Turtles shirt playing with it.
