Words Ending in "ED"

Yesterday, I walked to the park and noticed how the leaves had changed. The trees looked decorated with red and golden colors. I admired the peaceful scene, breathed in the crisp air, and listened to the birds as they chirped. Later, I visited a café, ordered a coffee, and enjoyed a warm drink. The day ended perfectly when I watched the sunset and reflected on how much I appreciated simple things.
