10.02.2022 | Sunday Morning Coming Down

Day:  78-degrees  |  48-degrees
Chilly, stunning Sunday morning coming down in Carondelet.  The last Coneflower is showing her lovely face toward the rising sun, and you just know it's going to be a good day in the Garden.  There's work to be done, but it's the day of rest so I'm resting. I'm also making plans to do a whole bunch of things this week.

The world can feel a bit upside down right now. The upcoming elections, the turmoil of politics and the sad state of crime, guns and scary driving around us. How do you make sense of it all? How do you make sense of a world that feels stranger than fiction? For a moment at least, I turn off the news and head outside and sit in the Kailyard and pull weeds. I pull weeds until I feel a bit better. It doesn't change the outside world. It does change me. It changes my world for just a little while. I change the things I can. 

It's another stunning Sunday morning.  Sunny skies with winds out of the NNE at 5 to 10 MPH.  A beautiful day to rest and recharge before the first full week of October is upon us.  The newspaper has arrived. Coffee is made. Classical Music is on the Smart Speaker and, for a moment, all is right with my little part of South Saint Louis. That's a pretty good start.  I hope all is right in your little part of the world. I hope you can get a bit of rest this first Sunday in October. Be kind to yourself today. You deserve it! That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
