It's a brisk, cool start to the day here in the Carondelet Garden in South Saint Louis.  The skies are sunny with bright, blue skies and a few puffy, white clouds thrown in for visual interest.  It looks to be a stunning Fall Day with highs in the mid to upper 70s. 

The bright red bird feeder out in the back garden hanging on our Dogwood tree has been getting a lot of action these past few days.  I guess I really am an old man gardener as I can spend a ridiculous amount of time just watching the birds flying in and out.  You know it's official when you start buying books to identify the birds in your backyard.  

We had a wonderful weekend with our visit to the #SLSO this past weekend.  A glorious concert featuring Mendelsohn's 'Scottish' symphony.  Incredible performance from the symphony and a tour de force by the amazing Elim Chin as conductor.  

​Here's to a new week filled with wonder and grace.  Be good and be kind to yourself and others as you travel about.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
