12.26.2022 | Boxing Day Monday

Day:  32-degrees  |  Night:  14-degrees
We had a slight dusting of snow overnight in the Carondelet Garden casting a powdery glow across the Rosemary in the kitchen garden.  This frigid run over the past few days has taken its toll on my poor Rosemary plant.  It is quite lovely in its snow dusted state.  I take t6thhe wins where I get them.  

I can't believe it is December the 26th.  I started keeping this little blog or IG account on January 1st of 2022 as a journal of my attempts at gardening.  It's grown and changed over the year as life has a way of doing.  It has become a journal of gardening and life for this old gardener.  I've often thought of keeping a journal I just never really stuck with it for any length of time, but this gave me a a good reason to stick to it.  I wanted to know the weather patterns, what I planted and when.  What did well and what didn't do so well.  Along the way I met many wonderful people who encouraged me to keep going.  Thank you so much for the encouragement and caring.  

The skies over South Saint Louis are overcast on this Boxing Day Monday.  A few scattered snow showers are possible throughout the day with winds out of the WNW at 10 to 15 MPH.  We should see a gradual warming throughout the week.  My old bones are looking forward to a bit more warmth!  I hope the holidays were good for you.  I hope you have an opportunity to relax a little and recover from the hectic pace and expectations.  As this year draws to a close, I wish you peace, hope, faith and love.  That's all the news from the Carondelet Garden.
