I love windchimes. I remember a scene in the 80s movie Body Heat where Kathleen Turner is standing in the porch enjoying her wind chimes collection. I made a mental note of creating my own collection, but I am way behind with only two.

Here is number one. A gynormous version, but hey, I'm in TX and everything is big here. Hubby made it using empty acetylene canisters. He took them somewhere to have them musically tuned and then put them together. They sound glorious, much like Cathedral bells. Problem is: they are extremely loud. Our nearest neighbor lives about 5 miles away and on windy days it chimes like crazy. Neighbor doesn't mind it too much, except when we have windy nights and they chime incessantly, not allowing for a restful sleep. So, we took the clapper off and only put it back when we're in town.

PS: The chimes are at our 2nd property located in East TX country.
