Happy Halloween! All Hallows' Eve is the night before All Saints Day in Christendom but in Ancient Ireland it would have been a Druid holiday that marked the end of Summer.  It was the day when the dead got up and walked around with the living.  It was celebrated by folks going from house to house for pieces of bread or even beads.  The tradition came to the United States in the 1800s along with the Irish immigrants.  God bless the Irish!

The little Doodle Dog is looking quite scary in her Ghostie Bandana and hiding amongst the Daylilies.  Such a frightening beast!  Beware the Doodle!  

Mostly cloudy skies over the Carondelet Garden this last day of October.  Winds are out of the WNW at 5 to 10 MPH.  Here's to the rain staying away for the kids and their candy gathering activities.  Be safe and have fun on your adventures.  Enjoy the excitement and joy of this fun day.  It's a good day for a good day!  That's all the news from the Carondelet Garden.
