The bell in the pciture hung in a local church from 1861 - 1971 - 11o yrs for those not good with math (wife-LOL) I see this bell often as I drive through the tiny town I live in and is just sets day after day through all the seasons just chillen - I could not help but think about all the times over the bells life it was put into action calling people to church, town meetings, and fire alerts - this bell is a symbol of our history strong unyelding yet functional and with a purpose - now it has been replaced with a digital music bell(ish) thing that rings once in awhile -
I have heard bells like this one ring they have a very powerful sound that you hear and respond to even if that is to just look in the direction of the sound you respond. (Not so much with the digital thing)
So To this bell I am glad to have you as part of my chillen blog - you have earned the rest but I would love to hear your strong gong again some day!
