Week #4

This week I was mostly focused on the plants in my  backyard. We have a lot of trees there like apple tree, cherry tree, pine trees, birch tree. Let me start with a birch tree. It is already completely yellow, I mean the leaves are all yellow. As I know this type of trees are not native in America. I assume that the native land of those is Russia.
I really like this tree. It is not massive but instead thin, has white trunk with little black stripes on it.  And I suppose it is one of the trees that gets fall colors faster than others do. But I am quite sure that wind will blow all the leaves down. Well, we'll see during the next few weeks.

Talking about other trees.
 *The apple tree ran out of fruits. (if we don't pick them up on time, birds get them)
 *Both cherry trees- no leaves, no berries. Those trees are so thin, that any time there is wind outside I think it will blow them away.
Regarding pine trees, since they are evergreen trees they obviously got the same green coloring as couple weeks ago.


The other day I was helping my host mom to do some work in the small garden. We still have some flowers out there, like roses. (red, pink, orange-ish, white). But the flowers that I like are tiny ones. They have white petals and a yellow center. Camomiles! They didn't smell really good though. I figured that out when I kept them in my room.

White flowers with yellow centers

As you've noticed I dedicated this post to plants in my backyard and I would like to conclude it this way: trees seem to be big and strong but...by the touch of fall they lose their leaves and become dry and "weak".
