Fall Flowers

I had the opportunity to go back home this weekend to help celebrate my niece's 4th birthday! Since Monday was a holiday Eva was off from school and came over to my parents' house where I was able to watch her. We had fun playing outside with Grandpa as he planted some more flowers and did some weeding.  The front yard is all set for fall with colorful mums and pumpkins. The leaves on the dogwood trees have also changed color and are now sporting their bright red berries.
Here are some pictures of my parents' front yard all set up for fall!

Orange mums were added to the hosta and butterfly bush to give some color.

Surprisingly the roses are starting to come back even after my mom chopped them all down.

Some pumpkins my mom picked with her class on their field trip.

Purple flowers in the once herb garden.

My dad used oregano as a ground cover.

Changing leaves.

Dogwood tree with gourd bird house we got the Philadelphia Flower Show.

These berries are really cute (except when squished on the brick underneath)
Hope you are a having a wonderful fall day!
