Would the Merry Sound of Bells Make One Forget

A gloomy morning is arising, the monotonous rain of December makes soothing, relaxing sounds for those soundly sleeping. This unexpected rainy day causes a cozy feeling, and pelting on rooftops it creates new dreams for anyone awaiting spring. Why are the red-breasted meadowlarks absent? It's the beginning of winter and it's not snowing yet! Around seven o'clock they used to wake me up as the brilliant sunrays spread and blinded my sight... reminding me to whisper my prayer and appreciate life more. Even the church bells are silent in their tower bell, they used to thrill me with their tintinnabulation; I anxiously stepped outside to hear them more clearly, has the bell ringer fallen asleep? I eagerly wait on the balcony adorned with pretty lilies and petunias in pottery vases that sadly drip, soon I'll freeze feeling the Arctic wind entering my bones and blowing hard; it'll anticipate snow and ice. I couldn't stand the cold weather for long; would the merry sound of bells make one forget that it's still winter?
