My childhood dinner bell was calling to me to take a picture of it. My husband sanded and clear coated it for me this summer. It turned out amazing.
I am grateful that I have it, grateful that I have fond memories of hearing it when it was time to come home. I am grateful for the memories of it calling the horses in from the pasture. Yes, our horses learned what it meant to hear the bell. All of the kids had cars and could tell time, but the bell still rang.
Once my parents moved off the farm, I brought the bell to our farm. It rarely rings now, but I use to ring it to bring my kids home from the woods, or the neighbors. I use Sleigh Bells to bring the horses in to eat these days! I wonder where I got that idea?
I collected bells as a child. I loved receiving them or buying them with my allowance. I have many, but this is one of my favorites and has been well loved the longest!
