Me climbing the BIG hill

Today we went on our annual Mother's day wild flower walk in Miesville. We've gone to this place three years in a row now, we saw lots of different kinds of plants, the big hills, and the river and streams that run through the park. I made an entry in my Nature Journal when we got home-about some of the plants we saw.
Here's what I wrote:
Purple Violet
Friendly Flower found in the back yard as well as in the wild.
Woodland Rue
A pretty little white flower that grows in large banks all over (the park)
Trout Lilly
We thought this 'upside down' flower looked like a fairy hat or a fairy shower
Pipe Weed
The wild, green tinker-toy that grows in the wild. If you pull them apart carefully you can stick the pieces back together.
High Phlox
Prolific Plant found in North Woodlands.
Buttercup
Found in low, swampy areas, the buttercup glows brilliantly in the warm spring sun.
Dutchman's britches
Found in quiet, shady nooks, a fairy woman has left the Dutchman's britches out to dry in the fresh spring air.
Fleabane
This green plant has a strange, sticky, velcro-like feel.
Side note: Dad helped me with the High Phlox, Buttercup, and Dutchman's britches describing parts.

Great blog entries for the last three days! Keep up the good (and interesting) work ~ I enjoyed your flower descriptions (I miss MN flowers)
I never learned to knit or crochet - is it hard?
