After Jackie flew back to Florida I
stayed for a few extra days to visit
with mom.

Filoli Gardens
Years ago my sister Cheri took mom and I to
Filoli Gardens. I never forgot the beauty of
it all. As I visit mom, she only stays awake
until lunch. After lunch she sleeps until
almost dinner time. So, one afternoon I decided
to remember Cheri and mom by
returning to Filoli.
For anyone who would like to visit this
wonderful place it is located in the hills of
Woodside California. The home and gardens
were given to the National Trust for
Historic Preservation in 1975. It is now a
non-profit that is open from spring-fall. I think
they have a special event at Christmas.

As far as I'm concerned, this place is like walking
through the gardens of heaven...with my sister
by my side...
Guest House
sorry...I didn't get a photograph of the house
I was too wrapped up in the garden!
The Wisteria was magnificent!
I realize that these red flowers are so bright
that they look fake...but I didn't do anything
to them to make them look this way. They
were such a bright red I couldn't believe it!
The joy of meandering around a lush green
garden filled with flowers fills my heart with
peace and gratitude for being alive on this
beautiful planet.
After my walk, I found a place where people
seldom walk. I laid down, and just absorbed
the beauty of it all. I must have fallen asleep.
I woke with a start. It was unusually quiet.
As it turned out, the place had closed! If I
had a sleeping bag with me, I would have stayed!
