08.27.2025 | Ordinary Wednesday

It's a sunshine-filled morning here in the Carondelet Garden.  The Garden Doodle and I had a lovely walk around the neighborhood this morning.  The skies were blue.  There was a slight breeze and brilliant sunshine shining down.  A grace-filled walkabout on this mid-week Wednesday.  We should see sunshine all day with highs near 80 this afternoon.  Winds are light and variable.  

Am I alone in wondering where August went?  I blinked and it's almost September.  Time is fleeting and it goes faster and faster the older I get. 

A busy day ahead for the old gardener.  Watering needs are still constant with the lack of rain lately.  I'm going to finish trimming my neighbor's bushes.  I started before the heat wave but never finished since the dumpster out in the alley was full.  The weather should be perfect today.

It's almost September.  Labor Day is just a few days away and that is always the beginning of Fall for this old gardener.  The season of Fall Markets and Maker's Fairs, Octoberfests and Antique Days.  Fall is my favorite time of year! 

It's a good day to knock off a few chores.  A good day to enjoy the sunshine and the amazing weather.  A good day.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
