Weather Vanes

Weather Vanes
Weather vanes make your yard seem a little more scientific.  You are concerned about the direction of the wind and so you may be concerned about barometric pressure, temperature, and forecasting. 

To most of us, a weather vane is just a decoration.  It looks cool on the house or shed because it turns in the wind.  And, even cooler, is the fact that it’s not only pretty, but serves a useful purpose. 

Copper Weather Vanes
Copper says you have an upscale home.  It is a little more expensive and will patina with age.  It’s probably the most sought after weather vane material.

Animal Weather Vanes
Spinning animals are just fun.  Many people like the stork.  When the wind blows, it just might carry a baby to your home.  This might be a good gift for someone trying to conceive.

Plant Weather Vanes
Plant weather vanes send the message you are a serious gardener or even a farmer.  For one thing, not that many people have them.  Secondly, even less people have plant weather vanes.  Strawberries and Blueberries are popular weather vane choices.

Steel
If you want to save a few dollars get steel.  Steel weather vanes are strong and age well.  They are what you might find at the local big box store.

Many Color Kite
Children love the multi colored kite weather vanes.  The ones that spin in a circle are especially like by children.  Consider getting one that you can put in your flower bed near your home.  In this way, the children can see it up close and enjoy it.

Windmills
Windmills are in the same category as weather vanes.  They move in the wind and are primarily for decorative purposes.  Copper is the most sought after followed by wood and then steel.
