12.31.2022 | New Year's Eve Saturday

Day:  52-degrees  |  Night:  45-degrees
​It's New Year's Eve.  The last day of 2022.  It's become just another day here in the Carondelet Garden.  We, long ago, stopped trying to go out and "party" on New Year's Eve. As my lovely niece once said, "you were born old."  She's right, of course.  I was born old and I'm just now catching up.

I'm not a person for New Year's resolutions or the like.  Instead, I try to remember the good times over the past year, the friends we made along the way, the friends we lost along the way, and the best little pup in the world who is no longer here in person but lives on in our hearts.  We remember.  We are also looking forward as well.  New year.  New adventures.  

It is also a good time to say thank you to those who have helped you along the way.  Thank you to those of you who comment and respond to this rambling old man.  So many of you were such a balm during our sorrows and lifted us up when we needed it.  Many of you answered questions this old gardener asked without making me feel like a dummy.  Thank you!  Thank you! Thank you!

Sunny skies over South Saint Louis this morning with some clouds moving in the afternoon.  Winds are out of the SE at 5 to 10 MPH.  Happy New Year's Eve gardening friends. Here's to a 2023 filled with the bounty of the earth.  Thank you for making my 2022 a good year.  Looking forward to whatever 2023 brings.  That's all the news from the Carondelet Garden.
