EXTREME HEAT WARNING
No bones about it, it is HOT here in south Saint Louis right now. The sun will be sticking around all day and it will continue to be hot with highs near 100-degrees F.  Winds will be out of the SSW at 5 to 10 MPH.  Let the watering continue!

The bunnies are adorable but ridiculously destructive in the Parterre Garden.  They have literally nibbled every blossom of every small plant to nothing.  We have added some Lavender to the garden and Dr. B came up with the brilliant idea of adding some gazing balls.  It seems the little bunnies do not like seeing themselves and take off for territory unknown.  They are cute but I'm glad to be rid of them.  The Garden Doodle is much calmer as well.  She took it as a personal affront that they were in her garden!

The Excessive Heat Warning continues.  Stay hydrated.  Take many, many breaks.  Take care of yourself and others as you are out and about on this Hot Ordinary Monday in June.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
