Beep! Beep! Beep! I got up and I1 my alarm clock. It was still dark outside. I got dressed quickly2 I knew both of my dogs couldn't wait to get outside for their morning walk. I needed to wear a coat but didn't know3 to choose. It was still autumn but the weather here in the Appalachian mountains didn't follow the4 . It had been cold and snowy two5 ago but warm and rainy yesterday. I didn't6 the weather report for today. Finally I decided to choose my light jacket, and took my bigger dog Fluffy to7 first.

I opened the door and went outside. Instantly (立即) I knew I had made the 8 choice. Each breath I exhaled (呼气) was freezing cold. The grass was covered in frost (霜) and I tried to keep my balance (平衡) while Fluff 9 me. I shivered (哆嗦) but then I turned my head 10 to the sky. I looked up at the dark sky and saw it was full of twinkling (闪烁的) 11 .

It was so beautiful. Suddenly, I felt warmth inside of me and12 shivering. I opened my heart to the wonder of nature's creation. In all of its sweet seasons it had13 failed to touch my soul (灵魂). It had warmed my heart on the coldest days and lighted my spirit (精神) on the darkest14 . I stood here and thanked15 for creating the moon, the stars and me. Our lives here are full of sweet seasons as well. Enjoy and make each day of them a creation of your love.
