Oh no! Warm and dry and in need of rain is not good at all, especially in your part of the world I bet, I always imagine the Netherlands as coastal temperate and lush with green grass and such. Hope you get some precipitation soon!
Fifty Shades Of Green is a book that I would read, especially if it had plant pictures lol!
And I wish you could drop by for a snack and a chat lol! With the pups in tow, we could throw tennis balls for that wild bunch!
