Windmill – Rurality Blog Hop #27

Barn and Windmill - Kent WA

Windmills to pump water used to be a common sight in rural areas.

:  :  :

The rhythmic squeaking

slows and accelerates with the speed of the wind passing through the blades,

a sound like none other that I’ve ever heard.

:  :  :

In the quiet of the morning,

the heat of the day

or the dark stillness of the night,

the familiar rhythmic sound is comforting.

Here,

outside the western Washington town of Kent

(which used to be rural when I was a kid in the 1950s and 60s)

is an aluminum windmill

which sits in the yard of a farm house,

midway between the house

and the barn,

in a well tended

garden.
