07.07.2025 | Ordinary Monday

It is partly cloudy and humid on this Monday morning here in the Carondelet Garden.  We should see a mix of clouds and sunshine all day with a high around 90-degrees.  Winds will be out of the North at 5 to 10 MPH.  Not a bad way to start the week.

The rains from yesterday missed us entirely so the watering regime continues.  It's a process that must be done but we could certainly use a bit of that wonderful heavenly moisture.  The plants certainly appreciate it more than the City Water supply.  Yet, beggars can't be choosers, and we do what we must do to keep things alive and as healthy as possible.

July seems to be that month where this old gardener catches up on every type of medical appointment imaginable.  Today it is the dentist.  I am not proud of it but I loathe going to the dentist.  It is a bit of a phobia, I guess.  My current dentist couldn't be kinder and does an outstanding job.  Yet, I dread the thought of going.  It's the smart and good thing to do so off I go this morning.

​It's a good day for a good day.  Be good and be kind to yourself and others as you start your week.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
