Well look at what appeared

I’m a bit late talking about the projects last year. About 10 years ago, I bought a bell at Pennsic. The idea was that it would go in a little shelter in my backyard. Well, that was the previous house with the previous back yard. However, my hubby honey bunny didn’t stop thinking about it or planning it. This past summer, this came to the top of his project list. He made a lumber run that took most of a day. Then after 6 days of work, I had a belfry. In Japanese it would be called a shoro.

Now that looks great, but the bell needs a better cord. OK. I made a cord. I used imposter silk because it would be outside.

And it looks so good with the maple in the fall.
