Glass Unicorn

     In our library are two small oval topped windows. Many years ago, when we were first in this house, my wife took 4 claer glass animals that we had moved here with abd placed them on the mid-sash of the window. As the window is never opened, they sat there for all of these years gathering dust. The reason they were gathering dust is because shortly after they were placed on the sash, a large chest was moved under the window followed by a rather large chair and telephone table. So no one has bothered to climb over things to clean this glass managerie. Today, I found the Unicorn lying on its side on top of the chest. This came as quite a surprise to me, as it showed no damage, though if it fell it would have fallen better than four feet onto the hard surface of the chest. If it had fallen, I would think it would have landed at the foot of where it was located on the window. Instead it was a couple of feet to the right of where it should have landed. The unicorn figure has a wide base and the base has most of the weight. The sash is wide and the unicorn had plenty of room to sit solidly. I cleaned the unicorn and manuvering carefully replaced it where it had been. None of the other figures appeared to have shifted in the lest. Interesting.
