Hortense the Hog

North Haven, Maine

April challenge 2017 #4 "An outdoor house decoration"
A copper and brass weather vane atop my new garden shed, built by my crafty husband.
Hortense is a French feminine given name that comes from Latin meaning gardener.
I wanted something special.

What a wonderful embellishment for you!
I always know the name 'Hortense' from the Mike Leigh film 'Secrets and Lies' from 1996. I was totally unaware of the name before then.

I think this is fabulous. From what little I can see of the shed, it looks like it is sturdy, and, I bet, attractive. Hortense is the crowning glory. V
