They look like they have silver skirts on. The fence posts wear marsh - mellow hats (or so it looks). The bushes look like they are in their night gowns. All in all---the---scene---is . urr- forgettable.—by Paul Nivins. - Snow is like .the wild •animal -It_ is..tumbliirg-and- running and racing across the face of Canada. Snow is like the spotlight. It sparkles in the glow of sunlight. Snow is beauty, like the trees and forests of God. Snow is part of God's work of beauty: Snow is like the winter stream that runs through the beauty of God's work—by Ken Lennon, Grade 7.
