since i had to go to work, i had the idea to take you with me. this is my favorite house i clean, the one with the windmill
the bird is a swallow. almost every home that is adobe or stucco has swallow nests. i'll get a pic of one soon.
this is about just half of the livingroom. i could fit my entire house in the livingroom almost 3 times. it's a Great room. they are geologists, musicians, and horse people. instead of nicnacs, there are guitars, accordians, dulcimers and acoustical stuff. and saddles. the house itself has incredible acoustics and when i clean i often sing. it's the only place, really, that i almost sound good. today, that lump down by the piano...a new saddle. it's an old saddle but newly acquired. i'd never seen it before
a very large saddle. working saddle. incredibly beautiful. i stood and stared at it for a long long time.
i can't remember what their called, but the "boots" that go over the stirrups. for working in heavy brush, difficult terraine
saddle bag. maybe close to cloth, i love tack for horses. he will go over every inch of all this with oil. it will be burnished. i look forward to seeing it.
and do you see...the floors throughout the house are tinted concrete. shades in the hallways vary and lead to the shade of the next room. lots of oriental rugs. My favorite house. BIG. no stuff to dust. good acoustics. one cat.
i started this last night, finished stitching it together this evening. all "clean" white. all different. and i'm looking at it. i'd thought of it as a spider web. it was supposed to be oval shaped. it still could be i guess. so am looking at it. will leave it on the wall. but really, what i want to do is work on the second altar cloth above it. for the sake of solidarity, i'd like to like the white. but it is just well...just white. i don't feel it. but i am still willing. so...we'll see.
