Discordant sounds abound in the country where wind chimes are aplenty.
Wind chimes are usually made out of aluminum or bamboo and hang at every entryway into a country home. They can be readily purchased at any craft show. The beautiful multi-toned sounds of wind chimes are enjoyed by country people day and night; in the summer months they are used to drown out the noises of the florescent bug zappers that dot the countryside. Specialty wind chimes include those constructed from shells and those in which the striking mechanism is a professional sports team logo. Many country people choose to accent their wind chimes with bird feeders, bird baths, bird houses and windsocks. If you are looking for a mother’s day gift for a country mom, you can’t go wrong with a wind chime (or snow globe)! Country people like wind chimes.
#31 Wind Chimes
April 17, 2008 by ukcjay
Walking down the street in One-Horse, Illinois on a fall evening is the auditory equivalent to the visual buffet of displays at Christmastime. A brisk wind clangs them babies unmercifully with no two sounding alike, but the blinding light of dangling icicles that have hung on a porch year round is almost as pleasing.
This list is exceptional!
What’s next?
Is this blog dead? How about “country lefts”? or FFA? Soil judging? All your extended family living on the same block (perhaps sharing the same driveway!)?
come back and tell us more.
i’d like to hear about “drive your tractor to work day.”
i’d also like to hear about graduation parties in the storage shed, and things like that.
