05.19.2023 | Friday in Paschaltide

It is a beautiful morning here in the Carondelet Garden.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing, a lovely choir is singing "Abide with Me" on Classical KWMU.  That is the perfect trifecta for this old man from South Saint Louis.  There is nothing more beautiful than an English choir singing an old hymn in gorgeous harmony.  I can feel my soul say ahhhh....

The newspapers have arrived.  The coffee is poured and I'm getting ready to settle in for a bit of solving the world's problems with Dr. B this morning.  A bit of a morning ritual after tending to the garden first thing.  Dr. B refers to it as our "dawdle" time.  We just dawdle a bit with coffee or tea.  Read the newspaper and comment back and forth and then work on the New York Times crossword puzzle.  Together we are pretty smart.  We often laugh that between the two of us we have one pretty good brain! 

I hope you have a relaxing "dawdle" this weekend.  It's a lovely way to begin the day, or begin the weekend.  Have that second cup of coffee.  Actually read a printed newspaper.  Try out a crossword puzzle this weekend.  How long has it been since you tried?  Relax, refresh, renew your mind and your soul.  Be good to yourself!  You deserve some rest and some fun.  Be kind to yourself.  Have a great Friday in Paschaltide.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
