It is quite warm this morning here in the Carondelet Garden.  I'm not quite sure if I am getting used to it or if the humidity is a bit less this morning, but it was not quite as wet and sticky on the walkabout with the Garden Doodle.  We have plenty of sunshine right now but there is a possibility of thunderstorms this afternoon.  Highs in the upper 90s... again!  Winds are out of the SSW at 5 to 10 MPH.

It is Dahlia season here in the Carondelet Garden.  Dahlias are considered a symbol of creativity, resilience, and grace under pressure!  A bit of meaning with their beauty.  The blooms are showstoppers and the pollinators are having a field day.  Dr. B is loving them in here cut flower arrangements as well.  They love this warm weather and will last well into Autumn.  

We all need a bit of beauty and grace in our lives, especially right now.  These lovely blooms give us both.  Here's to a bit of beauty in this ugly world.  Be good to yourself.  Be kind to yourself.  Get a bit of rest if you can.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
