some new bits ...

Ahhhh ...
July already
second half of this year 2016

Still no real summer weather :
lots of rain.
Slugs and snails are happy,
so is the moss that grows in between
everything now in the garden

The Buddleja davidii "Black Night"
is huge this year, because I was too late
to cut it back.


Today, with many heavy showers
the branches nearly touched the water !
(I'm afraid the break off ...)

This colourful visitor came some days ago during some sunshine !


(Comma butterfly - Gehakkelde Aurelia)

The Filipendula rubra venusta
(who loves the water's edge)
is doing very well this year (of course, with soooo much rain)


Always thinking of cotton candy when I see it !
;-)

And this is the Astrantia I brought back
from our friends in Schoonhoven last week


I hope it likes this spot and will grow even bigger next year

("Zeeuws knoopje")

The felting exchange piece for last month was way too late
but now it's finished ..... ánd ...
the piece for the next month is finished too !
Why ?

Tomorrow I will visit the "Weavers market" in Hoorn
with daughter and some friends :
friends of the felting exchange !
Two of them will receive their piece :
one late and one early
;-)

Here's a sneak peek of the two of them

Later there will be more about the process
