Another beautiful, sunny start to the day here in the Carondelet Garden.  Still no rain to speak of and we are really getting dry!  The sunshine will be around all day with highs in the upper 70s and winds out of the ESE at 5 to 10 MPH.  It is absolutely gorgeous in the Garden on this Monday morning in September.

We had some delightful visitors to the Garden yesterday.  The Swallowtail Butterflies are enjoying the brightly colored flowers, especially the Lantana right now.  It brings such joy and grace to the Garden as these flying works of art flitter about in the sunshine sucking up energy for the journey. 

It is sometimes hard to remember to be grateful in these trying times.  Yet, we are grateful.  Thankful for the beauty of the Garden and the serenity it brings.  Grateful for good friends, old and new.  Grateful for the most amazing of neighbors who are very much family.  Grateful for the grace of family both chosen and born.  We are indeed blessed by our Creator with incredible lives that are full and abundant.  We are thankful.  We are grateful.  We must remember!  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
