Photo-a-Day - April: Day 28: 1 p.m.

Ever since I was little, I have loved the sound of a pendulum clock.  Both my grandparents had them, but I particularly remember the one in my paternal grandparents house.  It was a large mantle clock that sat on the mantle in the living room.  I could hear the tick in the room I in which I stayed when we visited and would put myself to sleep by making up rhymes to the rhythm of the tick.

Now I have pendulum clocks of my own; several of them, in fact.  Each one is unique, each has a story.  The case of this clock is solid cast brass, so it weighs a ton.  It's an American clock by Florence Kroeber, the model is Arabia, and made circa 1885.  

One thing about being at my house, you never have to look far to know the time.
