The Magic of a Mountain Sunrise

The Magic of a Mountain Sunrise
As dawn breaks over the mountain peaks, a breathtaking spectacle unfolds. The sky, once a deep expanse of inky black, begins to transform. Soft hues of pink and purple gradually seep in, like a painter delicately brushing colors onto a canvas.
The frigid mountain air seems to hold its breath in anticipation. Frost clings to the grass, glistening like tiny diamonds as the first rays of sunlight peek over the horizon. The snow-capped peaks catch the light, turning from a cold white to a warm, golden glow.
Silence reigns, broken only by the occasional chirp of a bird waking to greet the day. As the sun ascends higher, its rays illuminate the valleys below, revealing hidden lakes and meadows. The world beneath comes alive, and the magic of the mountain sunrise fills the air, reminding us of nature’s unparalleled beauty.

By noon, we’d packed everything into pretty boxes, and I headed to the school gym, where tables were covered with colorful tablecloths and filled with treats from other students and parents.​ At first, I was nervous—what if no one bought my baked goods? But soon, people started stopping by. A little girl with pigtails asked for a cookie, and her mom bought a box of brownies. A teacher I liked, Mr. Carter, praised my lemon bars and said they tasted like his grandma’s. As I handed out treats and took money, I started chatting with people: some talked about their favorite desserts, others shared stories about past bake sales. Even when t...
