I love it. I set the three pendulums in motion whenever I’m outside and see them motionless. I’m happier when they’re moving, and when I’m moving, for that matter.

Last winter I positioned the apparatus just outside our den’s picture window so I could set it in motion, go back inside, lie on the floor, and watch it, watch it, wa....

Woke up in the morning curled up and cold on the den floor. Looked out the window and snow was falling upon my immobile apparatus. A ray of sunshine sparked the snowflakes as they fell upon my apparatus, immobilizing it yet further. Sorrow. Despair. “Sorry apparatus” I whispered as left for a warm bed.

I couldn’t bear to wake to my ice encased apparatus. So I hibernated.

Woke up about a week ago. HUNGRY! Snow’s gone. Jeez! It seventy degrees! Sweeet.

My apparatus awaits-I suppose it hibernated too. It’s summer now. Time to turn it from the den window so it face’s me on the deck.

Love you, Mr Apparatus.
