Now that the cooler weather is setting in, I've told my husband that I would love to have a colorful backyard when the leaves change. So far a few of the ones that are already in our backyard are starting to turn yellow/orange. We went to Lowe's yesterday to see what all they had and, since our finances are limited right now, we picked a shade tree for the back yard and a flowering tree for the front yard. I want to track their growth so I'll post a few pics every now and then. We planted the Kwanzan yesterday and the maple today.

What it will look like one day:
