Het Gazebo , hostas, the frienship plant

Het Gazebo, a place where friendships grow 
just like hostas 
Cold ! Foggy ! Wet leaves and weeds !
A thick covering of beech leaves.
Now, where's that hot chocolate ?

This Hosta leaf, Het Gazebo, is changing

to its Autumn shade, under a banket of red beech leaves !
Cloudy and dry enough, with a high of 15 C, the volunteers
could have their coffee with home baked goods outside. 
Hosta 'Wu-la-la' 
Next week it's November !
Nights will be getting colder !
There are still a lot of leaves yet to fall !

A very foggy morning !

The Netherlands was covered in a thick layer of fog this morning !
Autumn ! Sure is colourful !
Lots of different fungi to find !
Hostas changing colour !
Hosta 'Wu-la-la' !
And the mist coated spider webs are a sure sign it's October !
But wait ! What's this !
New growth and a snail !

Feels like 21 C !

It was one of those beautiful Autumn days when
the weather's great, the sun comes out and 
the volunteers make a weeding difference at Het Gazebo !
Perfect any time of year 
but especially now it's 
the famous appelgebak , 
Dutch Apple Pie !
Hosta 'Wu-la-la' 
How long will this stay green ? 
Mid October and still shining !

Autumn hostas golden hues

Het Gazebo, 15 C, Wednesday morning and it was dry.
The volunteers are fighting the battle of the weeds and
are doing a great job keeping Het Gazebo looking great !
If you're in the area, take a stoll amongs the gold !

Het Gazebo is looking good !

For October !
There are still a few more enjoyable Autumn weeks to stroll
amongst the hostas in Diepenheim !
Another hosta in the spotlight 
Venetian Dream Hosta – Bright blue color changing to a shiny dark green in late summer. Heavily rippled margin and somewhat unruly. Sounds like a keeper !
This is what's keeping the volunteers busy !
Oxalis corniculata, the creeping woodsorrel, procumbent yellow sorrel [2] or sleeping beauty, is a somewhat delicate-appearing, low-growing herbaceous plant in the family Oxalidaceae. It is a small creeping type of woodsorrel that tends to grow well in moist climates

It really is Autumn !

We're heading into the final quarter of the year !
   Het Gazebo is still looking good !
 Dew, Did you know ...  Dew is water in the form of droplets that appears on thin, exposed objects in the morning or evening due to condensation. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets.
