06.04.2025 | Wednesday in Eastertide

It is a wet Wednesday here in the Carondelet Garden.  We should see showers and thunderstorms through the day with some locally heavy downpours possible this afternoon.  Gusty winds and small hail are possible.  Highs will be in the mid to upper 70s with winds out of the SW at 5 to 10 MPH.  We may see up to three inches of rain before it's all over tonight.  

We definitely need the moisture, but it would be nice to get it spread out a bit and without the stormy part.  As we used to say at school:  "You get what you get, and you don't throw a fit!"  Let's hope for the best.

The past evenings have been perfect for a bit of porch sipping.  It is the obvious thing to do.  It is truly something to savor during these early June days.  Yes, there is still a long list of jobs to complete, but when the evening is sunny it is time to pause a take the time to enjoy the warmth and the sights and sounds of the garden.  The garden is the constant amid the frenzy of life and taking the time to appreciate it gives me a fresh perspective.  A bit of calm after the stress of the evening news.

We have a few chores that must be accomplished today.  The first being our tetanus shots.  Ten years flew by.  As gardeners and cooks we know that this little booster is an important thing to have.  Then we will congratulate ourselves with lunch out and maybe a visit to an Antique Mall.  A good way to spend a rainy day.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
