Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches along the highway

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (沟渠)along the highway. I travel daily to work. There is one particular 1 flower that has 2 caught my eyes. I’ve noticed it blooms only in the morning hours; the 3 sun is too warm for it. Every day for about two weeks. I see those beautiful 4.

This spring I 5a wildflower garden in our yard. “I can look out of the6window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought those lovely blue flowers from the7would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Everyday I 8past the flowers thinking, I’ll stop on my way home and 9 them.” “gee (哎呀), I don’t want to get my good clothes dirty…” whatever the reason, I 10stopped to dig them.

One day on my way home from work in my car, I was 11 to see the highway department had moved the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were 12. I thought to myself, “You 13 too long. You should have done it when you first saw them14 this spring. ”

A week ago, we were shocked and saddened to learn my older sister-in-law had a terminal brain tumor (肿块). She is 10 years 15than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance. We haven’t been as 16as we all would have liked. I couldn’t help but see the 17 between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband’s 18and us. I do believe god has given us some time left to 19some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.

And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, I’ll 20and transplant them to my wildflower garden.1.
