Stephenville, TX Yard Show - Alva Hope 1906– Windmill environment

Information: When the wind blows around Alva's yard, the place becomes an amazing phenomenon as row after row of plastic babies and cows and arrows and buckets spin in every direction. The bright paintings on the buckets include self-portraits and occasional cryptic messages to people in Alva's life, both living and dead.
