Daniel Stoowen Research Paper

Walking up to the beautiful and luxurious house, you could smell the scent of roses and the welcome the birds give you to invite in the morning. The massive garden filled with wildlife and fountains along with many other treasures making it one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen. The gardens are layered with snow during winter with horse drawn carriages to take a midnight ride in and during the fall they are covered with decorations and offer a prize for the best costume during the October days; these fun times are what makes this place so magical to not just me but for everyone.

Back at the main house they brought me coffee or hot chocolate(of my choice) while I drank I listen to the beautiful pianist play Jingle Bells and Rock Around The Christmas Tree.
