Theme Thursday: Bells

The bell above is in my back garden and was originally a part of the aforementioned Lazy Acres. The bell below is from a long ago trip to Nepal. I plan to join in the ringing around the world at 2 p.m. EST for recent blog acquaintance Barry who will be doing the same to mark the end of his round of chemo therapy. It's an encouraging ritual and reminder of the temporary nature of all aspects of life and reminder that blogland can be a nice place to do more than just be snarky and leave LOL comments.
