A Little Wind

Late last week Lilly tied some long green ribbons to a stick and planted the whole array in one of the barren flower boxes lining the fence between the back yard and the driveway-garage complex. On Friday it flapped in the vigorous wind, which blew pretty much all day.

It reminded me that I want to buy a windsock or an anemometer for the back yard someday. A little looking around at the endlessly interesting American Science & Surplus web site reveals anemometers for sale, but not windsocks. I don’t think I’d bother with taking wind-speed measurements, which I’ll leave to professions. I just want to see the thing spin around.
