Day 10: Saved by the bell

Jan 12 2011 . . .Day two of the big snow. We hear on the news that 49 of the states have snow.  I'm thinking, sure Hawaii would be snow free, but I'm wrong. It's Florida that has no white stuff.  Apparently there's snow on some mountain in Hawaii.  Huh. 

This is our vintage dinner bell. It serves no purpose other than to rust. When we bought the house, there was a huge bell on the post outside the back door.  But when we moved in, the family had taken the bell and left the post. So we had a choice. Somehow get that stupid post out of its concrete base or find another bell.

Thanks to swap meets where you can find rusty items of all kinds, we discovered a replacement. And here it is fifteen years later on the morning of Jan 12.  I did photoshop this a little, a diffuse glow and such. But in the end, it's still a rusty bell on a pole.
