01.31.2023 | Ordinary Tuesday

An Ordinary Tuesday here in the Carondelet Garden.  It is cold and sunny this morning as some of the sleet and ice are melting in the sunshine.  This time of year, in our gardens is a bit messy and not terribly attractive.  Yet it is a necessary time.  Many bulbs and plants need the stress of the cold to do their word and provide us with the glory come Spring.  

A season for everything.  To everything, turn, turn, turn as the Byrds sang.  I have to admit I'm looking forward to Spring but trying to remember to appreciate the now.  The cold and ice are not friendly to this old gardener, but I do enjoy the beauty in the trees and on the ground as it covers the muck.  I'm trying to remember to appreciate the simple, ordinary things.  Even when my joints are a bit creaky!  

I hope you get a chance to appreciate the simple, ordinary things on this last day of January.  Blessings and all good things as we head into the next month.  Amen!
