"Oh, what a beautiful morning!"  I couldn't have said it better that Oscar Hammerstein II.  It is a beautiful morning here in the Carondelet Garden in south Saint Louis.  Low humidity.  Temperatures in the upper 60s.  Sunshiny skies.  Life is good here in the Midwest on this Friday morning in August.  We should see sunny skies most of the day with highs in the low 80s.  Winds are out of the NE at 5 to 10 MPH.

It's a busy day here in the Carondelet Garden.  My chores list is getting longer by the minute.  Honestly, I can't wait to get started.  The break in the weather has energized this old gardener.  Short and sweet this morning.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
