My beautiful Mother's Day gift

Barry made this beautiful wind chime for me out of copper pipe and scraps of walnut wood. It's hanging outside my office window. After a very frustrating session of sawing teeny pieces of first one pipe and then another, he figured out how to tune it, and now it is quite melodious. I keep finding myself trying to pick a recognizeable tune out of its tones.

I love how it has that Craftsman look to it of a piece made by hands.

What a nice man.
