As I Sit...

In my new computer corner away from the television, I have my sister, Beverly, to thank. I hear the muted tv in the next room where Andrew and Dennis are watching some horror movie. I think I am not missing that noise blasting. I can listen to my music or to yours as I visit. Something about the muted sounds brings me a sense of peace that I did not have.

I am facing a window surrounded by horses. I have statues, prints, my art and art of others. I feel very comfortable in my new corner. I still have boxes to empty. I must arrange my computer things in a cabinet and this corner will be completely in order.

To my left is a very unusual statue, almost oriental, of a high stepping horse. I purchased this about twenty years ago at the Folk Festival in Mountain View. Over my window is a half moon tramp art shelf with mirror. On this sets three horses. One was given to me by my friend's mother before she died. She had purchased it at a Five and Dime many, many years ago and requested that Belinda send it to me. Each horse on the left and right are gifts from my sister Marcy. One is a very old rubber horse made in Germany and the other is a beautiful plastic horse, unknown origin but pretty none the less.

To my right are two wonderful framed and matted Greek horse prints, my own painting of Charme and a copy of a prehistoric pitcher with horses. A large chalk board has been placed on the wall and my sister has written "gail at the farm BLOGGING" Following down the wall are two paintings by me, horses of course! On my computer storage cabinet sets a old, old cast iron horse from Beverly, a double horse statue, a lamp and a wooden box.

I am in my happy nest!

Thank you, Beverly, my angel!
