It almost feels balmy outside this morning in the Carondelet Garden.  The sun is shining and the high should climb into upper 30s by this afternoon.  A beautiful day to say the very least!

My gardening tasks are once again limited to the basement grow area, but the succulents are looking pretty good.  My investment in grow lights and timers seems to be paying off.  Very happy with the results so far.

I can't believe we are already in the second half of January already.  Time is truly speeding up in that way it does when you reach a certain age.  Do you remember those days when you were younger and you thought time stretched out endlessly and the day would never, ever end?  Those days are gone for this old gardener.  It is what it is.  We are where we are, and the New Year is upon usand it istime to roll up our sleeves, put on the heavy coats and boots and get on with it.  The garden awaits!

It's a good day for a good day.  Be kind to yourself and others.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
