This weekend Eric’s grandparents came up to visit. They live in Southern California. They were florists, so they came to see a local flower show and Filoli. We had lots of fun hanging out with them, and teasing each other. Spring is definitely really in the air!
Filoli was gorgeous. I didn’t know this was in our “backyard.” It made me think of Versailles in the fact that it is serene and restful. Well that, and the fact that there is pretty impressive home and garden. I was disappointed they don’t allow picnics, as it would be the perfect setting. Especially in the field of wild daffodils. Here are some of the flowers we saw.
We are the proud owners of two pots of ranunculus-es (?), and an artichoke plant. Our little garden continues to expand.
This afternoon is slated for sewing and creating. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Peace!

The TV show, Falcon’s Crest, used the Filoli gardens as a set. I heard rumors that it was also used as the Carrington estate in Dynasty.
My mom and I have many fond memories of strolling the grounds together. I believe she worked as a volunteer in their gardens in the past.
