Wildwood Park

 Today I felt like going to an arboretum where the plants are labeled. I found a doozy one about 20 minutes from here. I went to the Wildwood Arboretum. First I drove down a rocky road to a gate and parked to finish reading my book. A man came by on a golf cart and he told me I couldn't park here. So I parked in the parking lot by the lake. I walked around half of Swan Lake and then came back to my car to eat lunch and finish my book. There were fish jumping in the lake. I read a sign that said fishing must be catch and release only. They had a wooden/rope swing hanging on a tree close to the lake so I swung for a few minutes. After lunch I visited the other gardens. They had a Japanese garden and it was really pretty in there. Arkansas is in a drought so sprinklers were watering the plants so that was nice. I saw a toad on my path. I took it's picture. Then the next plant sign I read said Toad lily. They had a group of sculptures in the garden. I met a man on a golf cart applying pine mulch to a garden. I told him he has a lovely office here. He agreed. Then he said it was hot today. He was sweating. It was over 90 degrees. This is a wonderful place to visit!
