Wind Chime Spinner

I got this small wind chime spinner from Wayfair for $35 to hang on the shepherd's crook in front of the wall of green vine covered fence. 

It has a marble with glow crystals so it lights up at night. Modest and small, not a big chime or installation, just a little thing to break up the flat green wall.

But meh. It came broken, although I can still hang it up and the missing bit of plastic is not noticeable.

It just isn;t much to look at, doesn't;t spin really, and . . . not sure I'll keep it.

I had hung the hummingbird feeder on the shepherds crook in order to break up that expanse, and because having it where it was on the patio was not ideal -- the hummingbirds buzz our heads while we sit out there. Or they get scared away when we're there.


But it got infested with ants. Hung from the crossbeam of the patio vigas, the ants can't reach it, but stuck on a pole in the ground, they swarmed the pole and overran the sugar feeder. Ugh.

So the feeder is back on the chain hanging on the patio. It was too small to do much visually on the shepherd's crook, but the activity caught the eye and it was at least something contrasting against the vine.

This whole strip of garden is evolving. Not there yet. I want something to look at from the patio and from inside the living room. And something interesting in front of that long fence.

I'm not sure this small chime / spinner is anything I'll keep, but at least it won't attract an army of ants.
