Day:  52-degrees  |  Night:  41-degrees
The Coneflowers are done for the season, but we leave the last of the old blooms out for the birds and other wildlife to use.  We'll do cleanup in late Winter or early Spring.  For now, they are very beneficial for the little critters that visit the Carondelet Garden from time to time.  They may not be traditionally beautiful yet there is still beauty in them.  

At least for now, it appears that all of our doctors' appointments are finished for 2022.   Whew!  We are fortunate to have such dedicated and wonderful doctors, dentists, veterinarians, etc. in our lives, but I'm good with not seeing them for a bit.  

Walked outside to a misty, mild morning here in the Carondelet Garden.  There are some areas of patchy fog hanging around under cloudy skies.  The winds are light and variable.  It looks like a very mild day for South Saint Louis if a bit overcast.  We should get a bit of rain moving in tonight and tomorrow.  The rains are welcome right now.  My coffee cup is now empty and I'm thinking about another.  It's that kind of day.  A bit more coffee.  Some good music on the old Smart Speaker.  The newspapers have arrived.  There's a Wordle to do!  Such a busy day for an old gardener.  I hope you have time to sit down and enjoy a second cup of coffee today.  You deserve some goodness in your life.  You deserve kindness and joy and peace.  Have a bit of faith, hold on to a bit of hope and spread a bit of love this Holiday Humpday.  That's all the news from the Carondelet Garden.
