New Sights

Did you know it's possible to parachute from the ground up? 

I was on a bike ride through Butler Park
and saw this guy flying his parachute like a kite.
He was harnessed to it. 

Every once in a while, the wind was strong enough
he lifted a foot or two off the ground.

On my way home, I stopped to talk to the little girl who lives across the street.
She was holding a tiny bouquet of white flowers.

"Did you get those off a tree?" I asked.

"No, they're violets," she said.

I didn't know there is such a thing as white violets.

There are light purple ones too. 

Then she showed me where they are growing.

"Did you know you can eat violets?" I asked her.

She didn't know.
I made sure to tell her to ask her mom first
and wash them before she eats them.
