Lily and Charlies Adventures: Winter Adventure

The First Snow

Lily woke to an unusual silence.

She pulled back her bedroom curtains and smiled.

Everything outside had turned white overnight.

The fields.

The hedgerows.

The stone walls.

Even the roof of Sunnybrook Farm was covered with a sparkling blanket of fresh snow.

Tiny snowflakes still drifted gently from the grey winter sky.

Charlie, who had been sleeping peacefully in his basket, opened one eye.

He stretched.

He yawned.

Then he noticed Lily smiling at the window.

“What is it, Charlie?” she whispered.

Charlie jumped onto the windowsill beside her.

His brown eyes grew wide.

Snow!

He gave an excited bark before racing downstairs as fast as his paws could carry him.
