Happy Mother's Day everyone!  Whether it's your first Mother's Day or you've been lucky enough to celebrate for 50 years, Happy Mother's Day.  It can be a bit of a melancholy day for some of us who were unable to have children of their own for a variety of reasons.  Be mindful today.

Throughout our lives together, whenever Mother's Day weekend rolled around it was always a weird time for Dr. B.  It was usually Graduation weekend for the college administrator.  It was often her mom's birthday as well.  It was, in a word, chaotic and busy.  While she had her hands full running graduation for a bunch of happy college students.  I would pile the Weimaraners (for years) and the last four years our precious little Doodle into the car and search for a hanging basket exactly like pictured.  A little basket of love to share.  This year was bittersweet since our sweet Holly passed away.  I still had to get another hanging basket.  We are lucky to have family and chosen family to surround us with love.  

It's a lovely morning here in the Carondelet Garden.  Many memories going through the old gardeners brain this Sunday in Paschaltide.  I hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and light.  Here's a little faith, and hope, and love from our Garden to yours.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
