Filoli Fun

I hate to keep posting about our great weather. I feel like a braggart. It was in the low 70's yesterday, and we packed up and hit Filoli Gardens.



The flowers were all blooming, and the grounds were inspiring. I want to start my spring container gardening. Hello Topsy Turvy for tomatoes and strawberries! My bounty will be overflowing.

B had a great time checking out all of the sites. She was especially interested in the gravel leading up to the main house. She kept running her hands through it, kicking it, handing us handfuls, etc.

She got the best ride in the house. Lucky gal.

The grounds are almost 700 acres. It has huge gardens, pools, and a grand house, This in the entrance.


All that walking made us famished, so we ate at the cafe. See, real men do eat quiche. And they wash it down with Pellegrino and scones.


Beezie loved checking out the birds in this huge antique birdcage. They're gorgeous white doves.

We continued to stroll the grounds, and B enjoyed being able to run all over the place.

Seriously. How cute are these two? She loves playing around with her daddy.

I love that she gets down and dirty in the sand, dirt, and gravel. Her fingernails are totally janky. I need to get a nail scrubber.



I enjoyed the sun and spring flowers, too. It was such a nice way to spend the afternoon.

They have a huge area with grass you can chill on. We all just lounged and hung out. I can't wait for the warmer weather to be permanent.



Spring--we've missed you. So glad you're here! Anyone planting anything this year? I'm interested in planting tulips, and other assorted container gardening, but I'm not totally committed yet.
