08.14.2022 | Smiling Sunday

Day:  88-degrees  |  Night:  66-degrees
Another beautiful day here in the Carondelet Garden.  I just love the color of this Calla Lily.  The bright yellow just makes you smile.  Something about the beauty of flowers growing in the Garden that just makes things feel a bit better.

We need a little something to make us smile right now.  There was another shooting in our little corner of the world again this past week.  We were enjoying coffee on the front porch when we heard the shots ring out. It's sad to admit that we didn't even really flinch.  We just quietly picked up our newspapers, coffee cups, and grabbed the Doodle Dog and went inside and went about our day.  That is a little frightening to me right now.  How did we get to the point where this is just a normal occurrence?  I'm not entirely sure what the answer is.  I just pray for peace.  I try to check on my neighbors and clean my alley and take care of what I can. 

It's going to be a sunny, warm day here in our little Garden in South Saint Louis.  Winds are out of the NW at 10 to 15 MPH.  Another lovely day for working in the Garden or maybe visiting a craft brewery?  That sounds like it just might be the ticket! I wish you safety, faith, hope, love and peace this Sunday Gardening Friends!
