"Dear parents, we plan to hold a water festival with groups 5 - 8, starting at 14.30. We use the fire hose. The children always enjoy it very much. They get a quarter to dry up before they go home."
I hope they will have lots of fun.

Tropisch
Tropisch warm hier. Op de basisschool gaan ze een watergevecht houden. Nog geen tropenrooster maar een watergevecht is ook erg leuk! Mijn zoon reed na het eten gauw nog even langs de speelgoedwinkel voor een waterpistool. Ze gebruiken ook de brandslang. Mijn dochter zat even buiten te leren maar ... vond het toch te warm, ondanks de meloen.

Hydrangea
Below you can see one of the first hydrangeas in our garden! Every evening we are watering them to prevent the plants from dying. I also found a flower in our garden, of which I don't know the name. Is it weed? Or not? Ik took a photo. So... I hope you know the name of it.
Hortensia
De hortensia begint zo mooie te worden in onze tuin! We sproeien nu iedere avond, ook om te voorkomen dat de buxus doodgaat. Ik ontdekte ook een plantje in onze tuin dat er heel leuk uitziet. Maar misschien is het onkruid. Ik maakte er een foto van, na het sproeien. Ken jij het?

Swallow and dove
I share also a short video. You can hear the voice of a swallow and a dove. Ooooh and you can also hear our airco :-) Have a nice day!
Fijne dag!
In find it very fun that our weather is so similar to yours! We are getting very warm also. And our hydrangea just bloomed, too. I do not know the name of your mystery bloom, but it is lovely. Happy summer to you!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYour weather sounds like Florida weather! Warm and humid! We've had lots of rain as well. Praying the tropical storms steer in a different direction, however. Love hydrangeas...and the other flower is lovely...don't know what it is...but even if it is a weed...it's beautiful! Enjoy your summer! Watermelon is always a good way to hydrate and cool off!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenStay Cool!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI imagined the weather being much cooler where you are! We will remember these temps in the cold winter, won't we!! Have a blessed day.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMy goodness. It's hotter where you are than it is here in Florida. Who would think that could happen. Good advice, though, on how to beat the heat!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJa,het zijn echte zomerse temperaturen.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLeuk,je filmpje met de koerende duif.
Groetjes Ans
Stay cool. Have a blessed day and a wonderful week. Madeline
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe have the severe heat most of the summer here in Alabama. We do just the things that you were advised to do Aritha. Thank goodness for Air Conditioning. How did I grow up without it???I guess it is just what you become accustomed to!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI hope things cool down for you. My daughter is in her London office now and it is also very hot there.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI have asked about the plant in my garden group on Facebook. I will let you know if they can identify it. :)
It is Houttuynia cordata
Verwijderena flowering plant native to Japan, Korea, southern China, and Southeast Asia, where it grows in moist, shady places.
In English, it is known as fish mint, fish leaf, lizard tail, chameleon plant, heartleaf, fishwort, and bishop's weed
Annie thank you so much! It's true: now I know also the Dutch name for it.
VerwijderenWow, that is some serious heat you are going through. Stay cool because you are cool. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow that is hot!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSounds like a great way to stay cool.
That melon looks nice and refreshing.
Oh my! That is too hot for me. Stay cool if possible.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHa Aritha, mooie en leuke blog, zo van alles en nog wat.Lijkt me heerlijk 'n water gevecht, leren met dit weer, nee dat valt niet mee. Het plantje, nee ik ken het niet.

I don't enjoy the extreme heat....a few summers ago we had several days over 100 degrees F. I hope I never see/feel that again.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love your flowers, I did not knowant the name of the one so was glad someone did.
That is far too hot for me! Yikes! I like it to be 75 F. like it was today, with a nice breeze and sunny skies. just about perfect here in Wisconsin. Hope you get a break from the heat.
