A walk to the park

Trumpet vine growing on a fence

We walked to the park down the street since it wasn't hot today. On the way we saw a trumpet vine. The flowers are pink and orange. 

 We also stopped to look at a Rose of Sharon bush. It is a member of the hibiscus family. I liked this one the best.

Counting rings

At the entrance to the park there was a huge tree stump. I counted the rings to see how old it was before they cut it down to make a road. I got to 53 rings. Mom said it was a shame they cut it down. She said they could have moved the road over a couple of feet and saved the big tree. I don't like for people to cut down trees. We need trees for oxygen to breath. If there were no trees we would all die.
