This week's Tree Hugging Tots: Kids Exploring Nature theme was backyard fun.
We can always find nature in our backyard, whether we look out the window to see deer and turkeys or head outside to get a closer look at nature.
Of course, this time of year, it is the leaves that catch the attention of the kids first. The lovely colors are irresistable.
Of course, this time of year, it is the leaves that catch the attention of the kids first. The lovely colors are irresistable.
Not all the leaves have fallen yet, or even changed color. This is because we didn't get our first hard freeze until a few days ago.
Everything will turn color and fall quickly now.
Usually these attract deer, but on this sunny day they also were attracting bees, hornets and flies.
The sunflowers are drooping and the birds have eaten most of the seeds.
The wild grapes are very sweet now, especially since the freeze.
The kids spotted someone else enjoying the grapes!

The fall has been quite dry, and the creek is almost dry.

They found a little water under the "bridge" they built this summer.
