04.09.2025 | Wednesday in Lent

It is dark, dark, dark outside in the Carondelet Garden on this Wednesday morning.  The forecast calls for clouds and overcast skies this afternoon with highs near 70-degrees.  Not a bad day here in Saint Louis.

The freeze warning earlier this week didn't hurt us here in the Carondelet Garden.  I covered the cold frame but had a couple of raised beds that made it through with no problems.  The spinach looked healthy and happy yesterday.

A big day in Saint Louis yesterday with a new mayor and a new comptroller.  No matter our personal choices it is in all of our best interests to rally around our newly elected officials and support them as best we can.  I am praying for a renewed City!

Happy Birthday to my amazing Great Niece who turns two-years-old today.  She is an absolute joy!  We are so ridiculously blessed to be a part of her life and our incredible super mom, our niece! You two are so loved!  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
