What mesmerizing really mean? Did I use the right word???
Hi, everyone need help to understand..
I was describing my enjoyable trip essay, and I written this part.....My uncle's home is nice. It has a wrap around-porch, and is situated near by a pond, an orchard, and a stable. I saw a bright reflection of the sun off the huge pond. The dew on the bushes and trees surrounding the house was glistening. Then the sound of the horses nearby stable are music in the air. It was a perfect time, a perfect moment, and a perfect setting. After, I was done mesmerizing, I went to put away my luggage in the guest room.
