An Anniversary Gift

About a month ago, my husband and I had our 5th Anniversary.  It's quite unbelievable how quickly the time passes. 

At the beginning of May, we did our annual flower shopping and I happened to see a beautiful wind chime at the garden shop.  It have been wanting a wind chime for a long time now.  This wind chime had a beautiful sound, but an exorbitant price tag.  So, of course, it didn't make the trip home with us.

However, about three weeks later, my husband surprised me with it as an anniversary gift:



Horrible photo of the whole thing, and what it's hard to see is that this wind chime is HUGE!  My husband had to put some sort of wood reinforcement inside the garage wall  to be able to attach  the bracket and not have it come crashing down from the weight of the chime. 

The hummingbird at the top is so pretty.  There is also a flower at the bottom that is in the same style.

It has actually been cool enough that I can keep our windows open and there is just enough breeze to hear it chiming very softly :-)
