Location : by the Millstream on the grassy hill leading down to it near the Hatfield Library
Weather: Clear
Time: 1200-1230 hours

As I sit near the stream, I notice that the weeds in the stream are much less widespread. They seem to be stringier and less leafy, but otherwise they are the same. I also notice a small box of flowers across the stream. These flowers are really interesting and I have never seen them before. They are small red blossoms. However, they do not have the traditional shape of flowers. They are shaped into a long, thin cup that points downward, instead of a large bloom that points upward. I have never seen a flower shaped this way before, which is why I took specific note of it.
