The Seasons of home

In winter I go to my beautiful outdoor rink for fun. When I go back in my charming house my mom makes a sweet hot chocolate with a small and chewy marshmallow that keeps me warm. My sister and I sometimes play in my front yard with all the white and fluffy snow that falls from the blue sky. Every winter my sister and I make big forts with the snow. In spring my house changes differently because my family is getting ready for summer. For example my dad and I pack up our outdoor rink, we put back the basketball net and we put some chairs on the front porch. In the summer my house looks tidier because we put flowers, we cut the grass and we take off all of the branches that fall from the tree in our backyard. For fun activities we have a swing in the backyard that my dad puts on the tree, we might play basketball with my basketball net or I'll be playing video games. In fall my house gets covered with leaves because it’s fall. To take off the leaves my sister and I always rake the leaves and put them in bags. The thing that changes the most in my house is the looks because the leaves are falling, the flowers are dying and the grass is changing its color a little bit. It doesn't matter what season it is, my house always feels warm because my family that loves me is inside. I love living in it!
