Summertime ...

and the grapes are starting to colour ! Well, I would too, if I stayed outside all the time, we're having a heat wave. Apparently it is the hottest August 8 in The Netherlands since temperatures were being registered right now at 4:20 pm it's 34C in our back garden in the shade! The rudbeckia are noticeably feeling very hot and thirsty, see the extra ! Air quality is not great though, so I'm staying inside mostly.

Thanks so much for all the kind comments, stars and even hearts for yesterday's backlit African flag flowers !
