英語ストーリー

My small garden changes dramatically throughout the year. In spring, everything bursts into life. Tiny green shoots emerge from the soil, and colorful tulips and daffodils bloom, filling the air with their sweet fragrance. The birds sing merrily, welcoming the warmer weather. Summer brings vibrant colors. My rose bushes are covered in beautiful, fragrant blooms. The tomatoes and cucumbers in my vegetable patch grow quickly, promising a delicious harvest. I spend many afternoons tending to my plants, watering them and weeding the flowerbeds. Autumn arrives with a breathtaking display of color. The leaves on the trees turn golden yellow, fiery orange, and deep crimson. The air becomes crisp and cool. I rake up the fallen leaves, enjoying the quiet beauty of the season. Finally, winter sets in. The garden becomes dormant, covered in a blanket of snow. The plants rest, preparing for the next cycle of life in the spring. Though seemingly quiet, winter holds the promise of the vibrant rebirth to come. I often sit by the window, watching the snow fall, dreaming of the next spring's blossoms.
