The wind is very, very cold lately and it seems like it never stops!
Thank goodness for the wind because that’s what keeps the water tanks full.

Amazing – windmills are something we don’t have in our area. Thanks for sharing yours!
Really? I wonder why not… the water is not hundreds of feet deep, I suppose?
This is great teaching point for how and the purpose of windmills. I think teachers could pick up on this blog and use it in their classroom. Great going!
Thanks Al!
These are the types of windmills I so appreciate–the old-fashioned ones aged by wind and weather. Here in Minnesota we have windmills, but they are modern monstrosities that loom like giants across the land. Not pretty at all. Useful, yes. Beautiful? No.
You will have to share a photo of your windmills! Are you talking about the windfarming windmills?
Yes, I am talking about those windfarming windmills. I’ll need to check my photo files to see if I have any shots. If so, I’ll e-mail them to you.
Ibthink you could take this one stp further. People in non rural areas turn on faucet and water comes from a city utility. People might be very surprised that your ranch can live or die by precipitation and you need the windmills to get to the water. That is my laymens description, but yo could give a much better description of what windmills are useful for.
I was thinking about that! When we have to fix a windmill I will get a few photos to talk more about them. Stay tuned!
nice pictures
