Woke up early this morning to our own version of "Groundhog Day." The heat wave has been unrelenting, and the watering regime is continuing on day five. The flowers are hanging in there. Not looking too much worse for the wear. Tomorrow we should get a bit of a reprieve with a cool front moving in. A bit of grace when we need it most!
I read an anonymous quote the other day, "Gardens are mediators of the Divine." I thought it was a beautiful quote but also a true sentiment. Even in the heat with watering cans or a hose in my hand I can feel the presence, the mystery of the Creator all around me when I'm in the Garden. A thin place to be sure. It is, hopefully, the final day of this heat wave here in South Saint Louis. Be good and be kind to yourself and others. Hydrate. Rest. Stay cool. That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
