Patio at the Galbraith's is a cool green haven. The wrought iron furniture on the bricked terrace is painted green, and bright spots on the long bench are big pots of gay pink petunias. Flower borders surround the grassy area—white roses and periwinkles are blooming right now—and the patio is enclosed by a green picket fence and towering oleanders.

Dating from the 10th Century is this magnificent Northern Sung Dynasty painting. It hangs above a French Provincial settee and is the center of interest in a room filled with interesting objects. In the foreground brass scaled from Mexico rest on an ancient copper tray which came from Morocco — the tray itself sits on a quaint Arabic folding stand. Note the pattern of the colorful Persian rug: it represents the footprint of a camel.

Chinese porcelains are displayed in a corner, built-in cabinet and its twin in the dining room. Draperies for both the living room and dining room are Italian Fortunys. Dining room chairs are antique English Chippendales which have been in Dr. Galbraith's family for many years.

The Galbraith's will be happy when cool weather comes to the Old Pueblo so they can again enjoy their living room fireplace. On the left side of the fireplace hangs a Samurai sword, presented to Dr. Galbraith by a Japanese officer at the close of World War II. The other is a matador's sword from Toledo, Spain. The painting above came from Morocco.

Prominent on the screened porch overlooking the patio are these large bullfight prints. Aficionados, the Galbraith's attend every corrida they can. The quaint lamp just below is an old English carriage lamp. Two others are bracketed on each side of the door from the living room (not shown). One of the two bedrooms also opens on this favored room for breakfasting.
