Weathervane

We recently returned from a ten day trip to Maine and New Brunswick, Canada, and one of our stops was at Acadia Weathervanes, in Trenton, Maine, where we purchased this watering can weathervane. We also bought a molded horse weathervane, and a hip roof cupola, with a copper roof. The weathervanes and the roof will be treated  chemically to "age" a greenish-gray patina. The horse will top our old stone barn, and the cupola and watering can will go on the kitchen end of our house. They should arrive sometime next month. I'll need to get the cupola painted white and have it all installed by the roofers, I guess.

There were a number of fabulous designs at this shop. My favorites were the Golden Retriever, the racing bike, the golfer, and the guitar - none of which particularly applied to us. Acadia Weathervanes; 1-800-698-5538; and www.acadiavanes.com
