Grandpa's Windmill

This was my Grandpa and Grandma's windmill, we bought it at their auction back in 2005. I finally got around to painting it and we have it sitting outside now. My Grandpa died a few months before the sale. I saw him a lot growing up, since we were neighbors. I have a lot of good memories of my grandpa. Other items we got at the auction were mostly household things, that remind me of grandma. This windmill is special because when i see it, it reminds me of grandpa. He's my only grandparent that i lost. My other 3 are still living (ages 87, 87, and 82).

Here's the before and after pics. I wasn't quite into the John Deere green and yellow.
