THE WHIPPOORWILL AND THE CUCKOO BRING IN 2017

Now that the New Year is coming,
 two birds have 

returned to our house.

We now have our Whippoorwill - Cuckoo Clock back

from the clock shop.  The a

woman who comes from Germany several

times a year to repair Cuckoo clocks so ours has been at the shop since May waiting I think

for her visit and

finally - done.  I love it!

Someone might remember when I painted this

Shabby Chic in Colorado, however, it never

worked (with our limited knowledge).
  We got it at one of the indoor

flea markets in Ft. Collins, Colorado.

The bird on the left is the Whippoorwill and he

tweets his own sound on each quarter hour going

up to to the 4 tweets on the hour.  The Cuckoo 

to the right tweets once on the half hour

 and then on the hour - however

many according to the time.  Of course there is a gong
accordingly on the hours and 1 at the half hour.

So...........yes,
a whole lot of bird tweeting going on!
