Using Sundials In Your Garden

Cedar Settee Furniture — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:22:26 +0000

A long time ago, sundials were used to tell the time. They were used outside and when the sun hit the sun dial in a certain way, a person had a vague idea of the time. Sundials are round and have a “hand” on them and almost look like a clock. As a matter of fact, they are the first concept of the modern clock.

Today, of course, we do not need sundials to tell the time. These garden ornaments are still used in gardens everywhere, however, as they are charming and decorative. You can use a sundial anywhere in your garden. Many people put them either as a focal point in the garden or next to another focal point, such as a birdbath, in the garden.

Sundials go on the ground. This is how the time is told. It goes by shadows and the shadows will fall on the area on the sundial close to the time. Again, these are decorative as they never did much good in the rain or on cloudy days.

Most sundials today are made of stone or of resin, which is a hard plastic. As stone will break down after a period of time, when exposed to the elements, resin is synthetic and will not break down. The resin sundials, like most modern sundials are made to look like those of long ago.

There are also sundials that can be hung on sheds or walls of the house. As sundials, again, are not used to actually tell the time, you can use your imagination when thinking of where to put these garden ornaments.

Some sundials have fairies on them or other whimsical creatures Others have nature figures carved into them. Some are very ornate and others resemble very much the sun dials of long ago. A true sundial that is an antique will fetch a good price online and can be a beautiful addition to your garden as well as a good conversation piece.

Because they are usually heavy and embedded into the ground, there is no need to remove the sundial when a heavy storm comes along as it is unlikely to go anywhere. Make sure that you dig it into the ground a bit so that it is secure and you will be fine.

You should really only have one sundial in your garden décor as too many can make your garden look cluttered and unorganized. Before deciding where you want to put your sundial, you should map out the use of your garden so that you have an idea of what ornaments you need, where you will put them and what you will plant in the garden. If you are unsure of this and cannot visualize it in your head, you should sketch it out using ideas found in books and garden magazines.

A sundial can make an old fashioned and very charming addition to your garden. You can use it in a number of different ways and it will go well in just about any type of garden. Take a look at the various designs before deciding on one and also look at prices both online and off so you can get a good deal on the perfect sundial.

The History of Weather Vanes

Cedar Settee Furniture — Tue, 27 May 2008 19:22:01 +0000

Did you ever to stop and think about where weather vanes got their origins? Can you believe that historians can actually trace them back to the Vikings? Or the Ancient Greeks? Even George Washington? They all helped the weather vane develop into the decorative and functional items they are today. The actual name comes from the Old English ‘fane’ which means flag. They can be found in the writings of the Mesopotamians who lived on the Mediterranean 3,500 years ago. The Chinese mention simplistic weather vanes that were made with strings tied to poles in order to tell what direction the wind was blowing in.

In their own way, weather vanes contributed to the development of modern day meteorology equipment. They were very heavily relied on in ancient time and their use continued up until more modern equipment took over. Truth be known, modern day farmers still rely on their weather vanes to tell them what the weather is going to do. The need to be precisely balanced in order to work properly and one half of the weather vane must have more area then the other so that the wind can work against it to spin it in the right direction.

The bronze image of the Greek God Triton that stood on top of the Tower of Winds in Athens around 48 BC had long been considered the first real weather vane. Archaeological digs have discovered evidence that weather vanes adorned quite a few homes and buildings in Ancient Greece and Rome. A rider on a copper horse weather vane was actually discovered in Constantinople. Even the Vikings of the 9th Century AD used weather vanes, replacing the flags on their ships with quadrant-shaped pieces of metal shaped like a figure from Norse mythology.

The typical depiction of the rooster weather vane came from an edict handed down by Rome stating that all church buildings would sport one in remembrance of Christ’s betrayal by Peter. When added to the directional markers to let everyone know which way the wind was blowing, the modern day weather vane was born.

By the 18th and 19th centuries, the weather vanes become more unique as wrought iron one was created in shapes that included mythical creatures and other animals. This is a clear Victorian tradition that came over to the United States with the people who immigrated here. Many of the weather vanes that can be seen on old building in America today probably date back to the 1700’s settlers. Both President’s George Washington and Thomas Jefferson had weather vanes on the buildings of their homes.

Hand shaped weather vanes can still be purchased today at many different stores and even online through a variety of websites. Although they are not relied on as heavily to predict the weather as they once were, they are still a beautiful addition to any farm or community building and can add an interesting conversational piece for anyone who happens to walk by it.
