02.05.2024 | Ordinary Monday

It's a bit chilly out in the Carondelet Garden on this Ordinary Monday morning.  The good news is the sun is shining and the high will reach the mid-50s by this afternoon.  You can't beat that for early February in South Saint Louis.

It was a busy few days in the old garden.  The new cold frame is ready to begin filling with plants for Spring.  I'm going to be putting out beans this week.  I know it's a bit early but I'm willing to give it a go.  Lettuce and Spinach are going into the grow area this week as well.  Spring is coming and I'm ready!

I am ready for a bit of faith and hope.  It is up to me to celebrate creation wherever I find it.  The beauty is there to behold, drawing me in.  Drawing me in to that which is holy.  This longing for creation is a part of all of us.  It is how we are put together.  I wouldn't want it any other way.

It's a good day for a good day.  A bit of faith, some hope and all the love we can muster will get us through.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
