The flowers that had once been hidden by the weeds had blossomed, and the colors of the garden dazzled her. The sun was shining, and the garden was filled with light, as if it were a place of magic. Sarah felt as though she had stepped into another world.
The sun beamed down on the garden, and the colors of the flowers glowed in its light. The air was filled with the sweet scent of the flowers, and Sarah felt a sense of peace that she had never felt before. The garden was illuminated by the sun, and it was like nothing she had ever seen before.
