Not wonder as in wonderful. Wonder is in why in the world have windchimes? I don't want to offend. Maybe some of you loyal peeps like them. Personally, I don't. Actually, they might rank up there in my list of pet peeves. I just returned from a walk. Yes, it was a blustery, cold walk. But lovely. Lisi was in her glory. I enjoyed the fresh air and the wee bit of sun that December brings. And then there they were. The unmistakable clinky-clattering of windchimes. Sure, the first four notes sound great. But then after hearing them for about say, 4 seconds, it is annoying. I'm just very, very thankful that the windchime people live out of ear range. And I pity those folks that have to endure hearing the non-stop clattering of supposed relaxing sound when they could be listening to the whisper of the wind through pines, the chirp of a bird, or the sounds... of silence.
Ok. Thank you very much. That soap box moment felt good. Now on with the day.
p.s. Can you tell I'm getting more 'punchy' again?
I'm one of those that likes windchimes as long as it's not super loud.
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm a windchimer too...when you come by to visit, I'll be sure to tie them up :*)
ReplyDeleteNo windchimes for me!!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind big ones in the summer. Windchimes sound very cold in the winter, at night. Kinda eerie to me. Just thought about this yesterday!
ReplyDeletelol- yes, can tell. Actually, I could tell because of your comment on Lani's blog! :)
ReplyDeleteI like windchimes- inside, in an out-of-the-way place- in other words, I guess I actually only like about the first 4 seconds, too. In fact, my fav windchime is the one I can walk up to, jingle a bit and walk away from, leaving them it in complete silence! We use windchimes in lieu of a dinner bell at one place over here- and when they're not being used to call folks to lunch or tea, they're firmly tied up to keep them from jangling! ;)
I didn't care from them when the kids were little...one more noise to keep them up at nap time, but now I find them peaceful...when the wind is more like a breeze...anything more than that...annoying.
ReplyDeleteHey there, "Punchy". Don't come walking by my house, then. ;)
