An order painted on the walls of an old caboose parked in the field behind my sister's house. This caboose is actually in very good shape but its doors are open so it looks like people use it from time to time to sleep in and to shelter from the elements.

Our metal sunburst that is supposed to spin in the wind outside our back door. It doesn't spin on its own that well but if you give it a twist it sure is pretty.
