Temperature. The sun heats different parts of the planet at different rates, and as a result of thermal expansion of gasses convection currents are created in the atmosphere. When combined with the counter-clockwise (eastward) rotation of the earth, these convection currents are responsible for wind patterns on Earth. Keep in mind that if the warm air rises due to thermal expansion, something must take it's place - and cooler air is what rushes in to do this.

Do windmills blow?
No. Windmills have their blades angled in such a way as to catch moving air or wind. When the wind hits the blades it pushes them and they spin, which then gets other gears of the windmill turning, which then generate energy for whatever it is they need that energy to do. So the windmills themselves do not make wind or "blow".
