08.12.2022 | Happy Friday!

Day:  82-degrees  |  Night:  60-degrees
What a pleasure to step outside the back door and into the Garden on this lovely morning in August.  Simply the most stunning day here in South Saint Louis. Low humidity, bright sunshine and the flowers are so happy.  My fall lettuce is planted and coming along quite nicely so salads are on the menu more often in the next few weeks.

I love the changing seasons here in the Midwest. You can already tell the days are getting a bit shorter as it is getting darker just a littler earlier every evening. Fall is coming at us like a freight train but that brings so much joy as well.  College Football on Saturdays, Fall Festivals, Bellerive Day on October 1st, and the bounty of Fall harvests.  You can almost feel it in the air this morning.  Yet, I know, Summer has not gone away, so I enjoy it while I can.

Today is a Happy Friday kind of day.  We have very little on the calendar, so it is coffee and newspapers on the front porch. Sunny skies and winds out of the NNE at 5 to 10 MPH.  Here's wishing you the best day ever! Be good and be kind to yourself.  Have that extra cup of coffee and maybe sit outside to enjoy it.  You'll be glad you did! Happy Friday Gardening Friends!
