Autumn

This is the tree out front of our house. I just love when it is in is full fall coat. This year (maybe because we are all home sick with the H1N1 Flu) I remembered to get a picture of it before all it's slender was gone and on the ground. God is just so great and this is a wonderful way for him to remind us of how much He loves us and is in control.

Fall

In Science Class, we have been learning about plants, trees, leaves, seeds and so forth. Today as a part of our science lesson, we played in the leaves out front of our house. Then we took a nature walk; collecting leaves, doing bark rubbings and talking about the differences in the leaves and that some still have chlorophyll, while others have already lost all their chlorophyll thus turning them, their beautiful reds, yellows, oranges, rust, purples and browns. We are very lucky that we live on a street that has so many different deciduous trees. When we got home with our leaves, we sent them through our lamenator, to preserve them for further study.
