The Dutch "stroopwafel" (click here) was ooey gooey great

a steaming hot cup of coffee !

July was normal , but more on the rainy side!

Thanks to the volunteers for weeding in this weather !

 

Het Gazebo , Diepenheim

on a beautiful 23 C Summers day in July !

Did you know ?

Many hostas have impressive two-toned variegated foliage that can be patterned, streaked, or bordered with a lighter or darker color. In the summer, hostas produce multiple lily-like, tubular-shaped purple, lavender, or white blooms borne on scapes. 

Sounds like a beautiful place to volunteer !

Hosta ' Wu-la-la'  is keeping up appearances !

 

Can you belive the weather we've been having !

 Mid July and we've had rain, a lot of rain and a week later temperatures around 30 C ! This sure does encourage lots of green Hostas as well as weeds ! Thanks to the volunteers for keeping Het Gazebo in check this Summer vacation season ! If you're around Diepenheim drop by ! 

What a way to start off July !

At Het Gazebo, Diepenheim 

Might have been 14 C this morning ?

Might have had almost 10 mm rain this morning?

The ground is pretty saturated in most areas ! 

This didn't deter the volunteers from there weekly weeding visit  !

But when the rain arrived from the west they knew

it was time to through in the wet towel !!
