Another sound I love is the sound of the clock tolling the time on the hour at the County Courthouse. Built in 1892, it was recently restored and is one of our town's treasures. I love sitting in our backyard in the summer when all is quiet and hearing the gong - Big Ben, it's not, but the sound couldn't be any sweeter to my ears especially when it was out of commission for about a year and we were wondering if it was ever going to be repaired (evidently clock tower repairmen are in short supply these days). But after an over six-figure restoration project, the clock tower is making sweet sounds once again -- and making me smile every time I hear it.
