There's a church about two blocks from our house, and this morning when the bells chimed at 6:00 AM it sounded like they were right outside the bedroom window. We must have been on a down wind because today they were unusually loud.
The church bells ring on the hour and half hour, every day from 6:00 in the morning until midnight. It's a sound I love to hear; a comforting sound, and one that I would truly miss were they ever to cease ringing.

I love church bells so much, it is a sound I grew up with. They seldom ring here, perhaps by special request for a wedding or funeral. It was always a lovely way to observe the time.
The last time I heard them was leaving church on Christmas eve just after midnight. The snow was softly falling, and that along with the bells meant that Christmas was here. I was so moved that if I hadn't had anything else Christmas would have been perfect that year.
Thank you for reminding me Donna.

It is a wonderful sound. There is a church on the other side of our woods out back and in the summer we can hear them ring for early service. What a beautiful sound it is coming through the trees.
I love church bells. Our church is a few blocks away. When Pope John Paul II passed away, the bells chimed signaling something was wrong. I hear them and I can't help but feel a sense of comfort.
Love,

Oh how I love church bells. When we lived in England we had a 12th century church in our village and every Sunday I couldn't wait to hear the bells. It sure is music for the soul!
Have a wonderful weekend.
