08.31.2023 | Ordinary Thursday

A beautiful blue sky, white puffy clouds kind of day here in the Carondelet Garden on this last day of August.  As hot and sticky as last week was, this week has been absolutely delightful.  Low 60s as we headed out to the garden this morning.  This is the last of the peppers for this season.  We did very well and have quite the stash of Pepper Jelly and Hot Sauce stocked up for the cooler months ahead.  College football is here and I'm thinking Dr. B will be breaking out the chili soon!  Go Irish!

I love the theologian Richard Rohr and this quote is one of my favorites:  "Most do not see this as they ARE; they see things as THEY are!"  Isn't that the truth?  I know it is for me way too often.  I want to grow into a person who simply loves what happens in this life in such a way that the simple, ordinary things become outrageously extraordinary!  Wouldn't that change the world?  

It's a good day for a good day.  Enjoy the journey today.  See the extraordinary. Enjoy the last of the harvest and start getting ready for fall planting.   That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
