Sounds Like Summer All Year Round
There are many things I miss about summer, even though we’ve barely scratched the surface of the chilly months ahead. It’s not just the temperature change that gets to me – I like the seasonal signifiers that make summer such a special time of year. There’s the crisp, sour taste of fresh-squeezed lemonade, the small of bonfires on the beach and of course the lazy jangling of metal wind chimes.
In order to capture that summer spirit for my enjoyment year round, I set up some chimes inside my house. My kids and the guests who come to visit can’t resist giving the chimes a soft push, causing them to play an impromptu tune. Whenever I feel that the chilly weather and dreary winter skies are getting the best of me, I simply turn to the wind chime and think of the good times.
