I’m not sure quite what to call these things. Deelie-boppers? Thing-a-ma-jigs? Clinky-things?
Whatever they are, they’re part of my Grandma’s impressive collection of outdoor ornaments. These particular ones are hollow half-spheres on top of long flexible wires. They move around in the wind and clink together.
In the winter, on the other hand, they fill up with snow. The bowl-shapes open upwards, after all, and the thick heavy lake effect snow is quite happy to find a niche and stay in it.
The clinky-things don’t clink when there’s too much snow in them. They’re too heavy to move far.
I guess that makes them not-so-clinky-things in winter, then.
