Carly Simon singing You’re No Vane

The people in Toledo, Ohio are wishing right nowthat the wind was blowing from the west so they candrink Lake Erie water again.

wonder the last time earl got a lucky poke!

What’s his name is probably having a senior moment.

Hubby and I have been married long enough that I could just wiggle my hands and he’s know exactly what I meant.

My mom would say the same as Earl on Watchitimcallit things.

Patsy and I still aren’t.

Seems like Opal somethimes sends Earl looking for Do-hickies or Whatchamacallits.or thingamajigs.

Do those things egg your house…

Piffle! I used to know what they were called however, it appears that file has been deleted for room to store other files.

So now it’s a stam engine? (Sorry… Couldn’t help myself…)

@beviek—-Very cute, but the compass points are not supposed to turn with the wind. The rooster turns with the wind, & I think there is supposed to be a pointer arrow under the rooster that turns with it.

Or the “Thingymajig”

the house down the street has a gold coloured flying pig for their weathervane. Love it.

another familiar conversation in our house…I can’t blame the spousal unit, we are both having the problem.

Weather cock!

I can tell which way the wind blows when I’m outside. Just wet my finger and hold it up. I’d rather have a lightning rod on my house. Last year, a house a block from us got hit with lightning. I’ve been trying to find a rod since then with no luck.

I really know the feeling of not being able to think of the names of things, but weather vane isn’t one of them.
