Church Bells

At 6 in the evening I hear church bells in the distance. I know they're real, not electronic, because this is New Mexico, with some of the oldest churches and belfries in the country. Sitting in the warmth with church bells ringing vespers calls to mind Italy or old Mexico, perhaps Spain or Portugal(where I've never been), even San Francisco in our old neighborhood. What a lovely, calming ancient sound to hear in the summer. And since it's high desert, we have aspens rustling in the evening breeze as well. Time to make dinner.
