reason #2:
the church bells
we live across the street from a cute, little, catholic church.
we found out on our first morning in our new apartment that the church bells ring every morning at 8:00 am.
not the most amazing thing when you want to sleep in because they don't just count the time, they ring an entire song.
but after a few mornings, we realized that the bells only play soothing, pretty songs in the morning. so we just started getting used to them.
now i enjoy being woken up and lulled back to sleep by the pretty church bells.
i would LOVE that! so great. :)
ReplyDeletechurch bells waking me up are my favorite thing in the world!!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and absolutely love it. can't wait to read more.
ReplyDeletewhen i lived on campus in college, the little chapel would ring every 15 minutes-- and would play quite the song at noon.
ReplyDeletewhenever i would visit home (then for a little while once i moved home), i found myself waiting to hear the bells ring.
thanks for the reminder, it brought some good memories back!
I absolutely adore church bells. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love that!
ReplyDeletethe town i grew up in...a little "amish" town in pennsylvania..had a church just like this one across from our home. we woke every morning to church bells and loved it so much :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh! Don't make me cry while I'm at work! Well, it's not your fault. When I lived in NY (all growing up as a child) we lived a street away from the Catholic church where my dad attended elementary school. It had bells that chimed all the time and I LOVED it. You're so lucky!
ReplyDeletethis is so sweet (: Such simple pleasures hey? xx
ReplyDeletehehehe this makes me giggle a lot. i love it. i lived in a small town in italy where the bells rang all night long (every half hour) and at seven every morning did a big song thing. i hope you continue to enjoy the bells.
ReplyDeleteoh that sounds so nice!
ReplyDeletechurch bells are probably one of the most soothing sounds - in my humble opinion, anyway :)
ReplyDeletethat sounds really lovely. i think i am the only person that likes to sleep with the blinds open and be woken up to sunshine. weird, i know. i think those beautiful chimes would be heaven sent, haha.
ReplyDeletepretty! I had to get used to a helicopter flying over every other night (not always a good thing). I hope you two are enjoying your weekend!
ReplyDeletei'm pretty jealous.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely way to wake up...

LOVED this post!
ReplyDeleteit made my morning ;)
Wow, I'll bet that is really beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! When I lived in Florence, Italy I fell in love with the church bells. I now live near a church in the states but it sadly doesn't have bells to ring.
