This
dinner bell used to be
used for gathering folks for dinner.
My
grandmother warned us not
to ring it too long when I was young.
She
said neighbors would think
there was a fire or some other disaster. The nearest neighbor is
still 1/4 mile away.
We
use the bell now to gather
folks together for dinner, announcements, etc.
This picture was
taken in the winter. Those are icicles hanging off the bell and
bell tower.
