Weather vanes' value make them hot items for thieves
I have often told aspiring meteorologists that to understand the weather in Florida you need to know which way the wind is blowing. Winds from the southeast (common through summer and fall months) usually mean warm temperatures and a chance of rain. A northerly wind component (likely during the winter months) suggests it's time to close the windows and put on a jacket because cooler, drier air probably is on the way. For hundreds of years, the easiest way to determine which way the wind is blowing is to look at a weather vane. Mounted atop church steeples, on the masts of large ships or picture-postcard red barns in New England, the weather vane gave local residents their first indication of a change in the weather. With today's whiz-bang computers and satellite technology, weather vanes have become less a meteorological tool and more prized pieces of American folk art.

The sale, sponsored by the students in the college's Landscape Architecture program, will feature orchids ranging in price from $20 to $30, depending on the number of buds -- plants with five buds cost $20; six buds, $25; seven buds, $30.
