We've just returned from two days of visiting the gardens of Henry du Pont at Winterthur in Delaware and Pierre du Pont at Longwood Gardens in Pennslyvania. But before I can tell you all about these visits I must settle something with myself. . . .
This year I've been reading one entry a week from the 52 essays in Alan Cohen's little book entitled Wisdom of the Heart. This week's, interestingly, is entitled "Resignation from Adulthood." Lest I give my readers the wrong impression I decided to re-title my post in a more positive tone.....but I love how he starts his essay. He said, "I've decided that I'd like to accept the responsibilities of an eight-year-old again. I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four-star restaurant." The reason this struck me is that I'd just written in my journal this morning about the B&B we'd stayed in the one night we were away. As you can see it was a very nice place. . . .
