The details are not the details. They make the design. ~ Charles Eames

 I awoke this morning a little later than usual and lingered awhile before crawling out of bed.

So much to do in the short amount of time I had left at my sisters house left me feeling a bit paralyzed. Frankly, I didn’t want to start. “Just a little while longer”… my repeated mantra.

But the smell of coffee has a way of changing things; an invisible force beckoning me to rise up and shine.

As I grabbed the coveted cup of coffee, on a whim I also snagged my camera, and headed outside for a walk about the property.

Immediately I was enchanted! Her yard is a feast for the eyes. In the 38 plus years my sister has lived here she has created beautiful vignettes about the property; little details just waiting to be discovered.

There is magic waiting around every corner! Splendid and delightful on their own, but a masterpiece when all are woven together.

As I wandered about, captivated with all I saw, I began to ponder on my own little vignettes.

The little details of my life that have formed who I am today.

None are insignificant or discarded, but are being used to weave a tapestry that has been created for a purpose by a great designer.

I like the sound of that.
