The cars are wired for electricity and the street lights function in the evenings. Len Cuilen bas spent 14 years in restoring historic barns on the site of the gar- dents, creating a pond, plan- ting more trees, building a covered "kissing" bridge over a Iovely natural streani, laying out hundreds of rose bushes and creating the village itself.

A covered wagon is available for nursery tours of the ajoining farms of Weall and Cullen. The gardens and village are open from 9:00 arn. tii 10:00 p.m. daily.

This week I have no thoughts on tap to write about as rny mind is ful of 50 many wonderous thoughts about the past, present and future that 1 just cannot put thern together. Sornetimes ther is s0 much to do, so rnuch to accomplish that one alrnost becomes drugged with ideas. My mind races back and forth; I write notes to myseif and still forget. At some point in tirne sanity will return and the pace wil become slower. Spring to me is always a time of great activity. A new begin- ming, a renewal if we are in tune with natureOur rninds and bodies feel a great desire to keep in tune, to awaken after a long winter and to grow along with the flowers and the trees. Then summer cornes, the pace slows and we are free to en- joy the long, warrn days filled with sunshine. The coolness of the lakes and the warmth of the sand often wraps us in a lethargie state. A storing up of sun and warrnth to carry us safely through the next stage. At times we can almost feel autumn in the air now, a clear, beautiiully soft feeling as the leaves begin to fall. A very special tirne of year for many, but for others, a sadness cornes with fall. To them it represents death and sorrow. I find this difficult to understand because for me it brings the beginning of sornething rather special. A warmness and cosiness, very uxlike the warmth of summer. The nights grow longer, the days shorter. Our activities change to a degree and we can once again look forward to warm fires and steaming pots of tea. Nature closes in to give it's own a well earned rest to gather strength for the corning A season for ail people spring. To each of us a season. We ail respond to our change of seasons and are invigorated and strengthened by this North Arnerican weather. We rnay complain and long for what we are missing at any given tirne such as the sunny south when winter cornes or skling in the Alps when the days grow too hot and humid. This year with ail the rain my garden is beginning to look almost tropical due to both negleet and too many showers. Soon 1 hope to have Urne along with rny new husband and old friend to tidy the garden and trirn it down to size. To ready it for winter and to hope this year for a warm protective cover of snow. Soon the children will be back at school, ah tanned and fit ready for new adventures. Most of thenrwill feel an eagerness to return, to meet new friends and reniew old friendships. Someone once said, "My interest is in the future because I arn going to spend my future there." D.
