It has been a lovely Eastertide here in the Carondelet Garden in South Saint Louis.  The Hostas have returned in abundance.  Last year we had a bit of a mess as the roofers next door neglected to cover them while throwing the old shingles off the roof.  They were, needless to say, a bit destroyed looking.  This spring they are back to their glorious little selves.  As a friend told me, "You can't kill a hosta!"

It's a busy day here in the garden as we get ready for the mulch to arrive.  We are doing some painting and repair work as well.  Moving a few of the statuary and things around.  Finishing up a bit of planting.  A busy day for this old gardener.  

I have to remind myself to slow down, or I'll pay for it later.  I'm not able to do as much as I once did.  I'm reminded of that almost daily.  Yet, it's okay.  It's good to slow down and actually appreciate what I have.  To truly pay attention and be present.  To actually witness the glory all around me.  Take a bit of time and truly appreciate and see the glory about you today as you journey about.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
