Dogwood Tree, Week 4

I started this post a little late and now I'm two weeks late in getting it up...which seems to the theme of my school year.  But I want to finish out the dogwood project and so I will.  The tree lost its final leaves in the days just before Halloween Sunday.  I woke up on Wednesday morning of that week to find that the last of the leaves were gone.

And by "gone" I mean piled in the yard, waiting for me to get to work with the rake.
