My World In A Droplet
Several weeks ago I spent a Saturday morning at an auction.
It was the Saturday that I found that great railroad baggage cart.
You might also remember that I bought 48 crystal chandelier teardrops.
And, at that time I said that I had a plan for those teardrops.
Yesterday, perhaps the most gloriously beautiful summer day thus far,
gave me the opportunity to put my plan into action.
You see, a couple of months ago I ordered a gazebo for the farm.
It will serve as a wedding "chapel" of sorts for Amanda's wedding next summer.
Yesterday that gazebo was delivered.
Situated next to the garden, it looks over a beautiful lawn that stretches from the garden
to the indoor arena.
This area is home to the grape arbor, the swing, and the perennial garden.
As for the crystal rain drops...
they are now decorating the gazebo...
and 48 tiny droplets reflect the world around them...
my world in a droplet...
beauty, condensed...
Magical, indeed, I think!
The bride-to-be is quite pleased...as are her tiny droplet twins!
Even the dogs gave their stamp of approval...
Anything that provides some afternoon shade for napping is just fine by them!
