Our Backyard in Autumn

We love our backyard!  It is huge and beautiful.  We have spent quite a bit of time in our back yard lately.  First, our new path.

The kids that come to my preschool, come through the side gate and into the yard.  The path we had only went to the end of the house, was not very wide, and didn't look all that great.  So, we decided to take it out and put a flagstone path that went all the way from the driveway in front to the sidewalk in the back.  We moved over 2 tons of rock into our yard.  I didn't take any before or during pictures, but here's the after:
From the driveway
Down the length of the house
Around the corner

To where it meets the sidewalk



Last night we had a major freeze.  When we looked outside this morning this is what we saw:
 Almost all the leaves had fallen off the 2 main trees in our back yard!


So, what do we do?  Go out and play in them, of course!

Ready, Set...

Throw!!
