GOOSE IN A NEW WORLD

 We gave our old wood goose weather vane the "Ashcraft treatment." Several coats of One Shot (lead based sign painter's enamel). He was looking very tired in his original dull gray livery, so we got out the bird book and painted him to resemble the actual Canada goose, with the trademark white patch on his head and the brown body.  

We also lengthened the staff he is mounted on since the New Dawn rose and clematis threatened to overtake him. Now he is flying free and clear.
