The Saga of the Eagle

Remember last summer when we got this really cool Eagle?



Well, we wanted to get a taxidermy small animal to put in his talons and put him on a log on the porch. We have a log from one of ours trees that we dropped this summer and it's seasoning in the barn for next summer. In the meantime we have the thing in the basement being moved around every few weeks. ;) Well, I came home for lunch the other day and discover that my crazy husband is having fun where there isn't any.



In another picture that I can't show yet he had some cute penquins looking REAL scared hanging from the darn thing. The things I put up with lol. MM keeps things interesting.... I'll give him that.

The Attacking Eagle




Check out this eagle we found and bought this past weekend. The guy was selling them on the side of the road near Elkhart IN. I love the colors of the wood and how they lay on the carving.

As with anything, our issue is where to put it. I want it on the front porch mounted on a log/stump with an American flag draped behind it. Yesterday when I got home from work I found it on top of our stereo cabinet in the living room. Looked a little menacing and out of scale for the area. The porch will win - trust me.
