Words of Wisdom

No, not mine. I'm fresh out.





My youngest and her family visited a hostel in Los Altos Hills recently. It is called Hidden Villa Farm and Wilderness Preserve. These are a few of the pictures that she took there, and judging by them, it must be a very charming place to stay with small children.








There are open fields and cultivated ones, an educational garden for the children, small farm animals and chickens, a creek - what more could you ask?











They grow both vegetables and flowers.

Perhaps one of you can identify some of the wildflowers that they found?










There are many signs posted - rough painted on boards or on the side of one of the out-buildings - explaining what can be found there.

















We never know where we may find true words of wisdom.
