it is used to tell time by its shadow It might be fitting for this clock to have 13 numbers on it instead of 12

Good Job Al you get a gold star for research!! The phrase, "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to come." comes from a Robert Browning poem Rabbi ben Ezra which is a historical poem about another poet, Abraham Ibm Ezra. The phrase is often put on clocks suggesting that one grow old with father time, and to do so without a fight. The rest of the poem introduces the thought that good can only exist in the absence of good:
For thence,—a paradoxWhich comforts while it mocks,—Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail:What I aspired to be,And was not, comforts me:brute I might have been, but would not sink, I the scale

it's a sundial... where?

At left is our crow-themed sundial. Perched upon a composite Corinthian column capital directly in front of our pronaios porch, this antique sundial is inscribed, "Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be." I'm particularly fond of the winged hourglass...time flies when you're having a frightfully good time, doesn't it? Special thanks to an anonymous Maid/Castmember for this photo.
