Loving Autumn


Being from Southern California the four seasons was something I never experienced until I moved here to the Ozarks.
Now, one of my favorite things here is Fall.
Fall is so beautiful with all the brilliant colors.
Here is a peek into our backyard.








Kevin planted this tree about ten years ago from just a little sapling. It's a red maple and this is the first year it's ever changed colors. Usually the leaves just dry up. turn brown, and fall off. I love it. It's right outside the front door and the first thing I see when I drive up.
Although, I don't know why the leaves aren't red?





Song Flute Concert

Sky is in band
and before you are given a "real instrument"
you have to master the song flute.
We went to his song flute concert and it was really quite good.
Who knew a small plastic instrument could be so musical especially
with 120 children playing it at the same time.


They played around twenty songs but it went by quickly.
The following week the kids were tested to see what instrument
they would be best suited for.
The children also got to put in a request of which
instrument they would like to play.
Sky was assigned to one of his requests.

A trumpet!
