What A Beautiful Day....

  Today is so pretty and so was yesterday.  60 some degrees. Now this is Spring. Finally. It was a long time coming. It's suppose to be cooler later this week...But I am loving this.
  This is the cupola that Ted made this winter and put up in March. We had bought the weather vane a couple years ago. A  man  was selling  the weather vanes, at the covered bridge festival in Parke County. He had a huge assortment of things to choose from. If I lived near the water I would have chosen a ship or whale. So I asked Ted , which one he liked, of all the choices. He said , "Oh I like the golfer."  Are you kidding me !!!! Then I rephrased my question.  Which one of these "roosters or horses" do you like?  LOL  That is how we ended up with the trotting horse.
 That gizmo to the right of the cupola, is Ted's hill-billy antenna. Now folks this thing works. You get on line and look for directions to make it. It is called a digital antenna. It picks up about 30 stations. Ted watches some woodworking shows while in the shop.
  Hope your day is sunny and bright. xo

    1. Ted painted the antenna the same shade of brown as the roof...so it kind of blends in. xoxo,Susie

  4. Love the weather vane and the cupola. Interesting about the antennae. Cable bills are ridiculous. May have to look into that. Enjoy the sunshine. It's sunny here today. Snowed 3 inches Saturday evening.

  9. I like how you gave your hubby 2 choices. lol Wise woman. I like the horse! We have cable, but the choice of shows isn't much to my liking. I rarely watch tv anymore, but hubby likes his cable news and sports.

    1. I had to narrow his choices...because he wanted a golfer. :):) I just thought horse or rooster was more farm like. xoxo,Susie

  10. I love your weather vane...I always wanted one of those. We had a pretty day today, too but I was in a Spring cleaning mood and cleaned all day! I may never get to decorate for Spring if I don't get finished up with the cleaning! lol Sweet hugs!

  13. You really have to be strategic with your questions to get the answer you want. Then, they think they had a choice in the selection.

  16. LOL- my guys would have picked the golfer, too! I am glad you got the horse. That antenna is genius! My dad sold TVs and repaired them and we put up many an antenna. I like that. Have a good day!

    1. The instructions for that antenna were on you-tube. If a person didn't want cable bills or satilite...it's perfect. You could probably put it in the attic if no metal roof.xo,Susie

  17. I would have chosen a Gibson SG guitar if it was available. Probably not.
    We finally got some nice weather and it's looking better in the near future.
