Well, it depends. A lot of things have coped with the heat reasonably well. But the lawn looks awful (oh well! Grass always grows back!) and of course the ground is so hard that it's impossible to dig things out. But plucking peas or berries was still satisfying. ^^
Trees are always so generous, aren't they? Whether they give you wood for building or making furniture or firewood, whether you turn them into musical instruments or paper, or whether they simply become a breeding ground for mushrooms and bugs and wild bees, they always keep on giving. Our Baumwipfelpfad is harmless in that way. My great-grandfather (who was a major Goethe fanboy) brought a dead cherry tree to a cabinet maker who used it to make a set of chairs based on Goethe's dining room chair design. I often think of that when people act like fannish obsessions are a totally new phenomenon...
