Do you know the location of weather vane #95? Scroll down to see the answer....
Today's weather vane can be found on Mammoth Road in Windham, New Hampshire, not far from the intersection with Route 102. It is on the cupola of a carriage house next to a private residence. This is a cute two dimensional pig, with a beautiful green patina on the copper. You can see this cupola at night since it is usually lit up from within.
And then there is a sad side to being a weather vane fan. Occasionally, some of the more valuable and historic weather vanes are stolen. Here is a recent story from Sanford, Maine:

Oh, I love the green patina on this gracefully leaping pig. In flight.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one like that before. He is a cutie. There is a blog called Happier Than a Pig in Mud and I'll be she would love it. I'll pass it on.
ReplyDeleteI think you have another example of this (indoors somewhere), and I too have found exactly the same one here. I always say "Pigs might fly" whenever I pass the house in question!
