Lili's blossom writing

The    blossoms   are   starting    to   open.   The   leaves   are   growing   slowly.   They   are   blooming   open.     The  sun   is out.  The   rain   is  out.   There is     a   rainbow   coming   now.

Amazing Winter Stories.

WINTER

The snow danced to the ground. 

 I got white snow on me. 

 It was freezing and it was cold. 

 The snow shines in the sun.

SNOW

It is like a blanket when it covers the mountains.

I like the soft snow.

It is like silk.

The snow floated onto the ground.

SNOW

It is like a blanket covering the mountains.

The snow is glittering in the sun.

I was freezing.

SNOW

The mountain is covered with snow like a blanket. 

 When the sun came out it glistened.  It felt cold.

  I like the snow.  It is cold,  like an ice block.
