Blogland Lane # 7 ~ My Dream Home

I've joined KJ and many other friends who have set up 'home' on Blogland Lane. Seeing as my new reality home has hit a few bumps, this is the place I've decided to move my hopes and dreams to. There will be plenty of room for friends to stay without encroaching on anyone's space. This is the front of the house. Someone got carried away with the number plaque, it should just be a "7." I'll fix it later. C'mon, I'll give you the tour.

This is one of my favorite spots in the back yard. I love to sip wine there with friends or just sit quietly with the animals and read a book while I gaze out at the ocean. There are lots of hawks and deer and rabbits who keep me company too. It's really a magical spot.

This is a magnificent old barn that has been renovated into my dream studio and gallery. I also use it for 2 months out of the year to bring in children from poor neighborhoods and give them a free summer of art, good food and a safe haven. The only thing they have to do to be chosen is get good grades in school.

So far this incentive has worked and many children have gone on to win art scholarships!

Finally, this is the long winding road to the house which shows the beautiful view of the ocean. The view is most spectacular from the studio in the barn but the salt air kisses every inch of the house, inside and out.

I think this is quite a neighborhood we've created! Welcome to my home.

Please stop by KJ's place and visit all the other residents!
