Don’t Wait Until Flowers Fade(凋谢）

Each spring brings a new blossom（花） of wildflowers in the ditches (路沟) along the highway I travel daily to work.

There is one 41 blue flower that has always 42 my eye. I’ve noticed that it blooms（开花） only in the morning hours, and the afternoon sun is too warm 43 it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful 44 .

This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the ___45___window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I’ve often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look 46 in that bed alongside 47 wildflowers.

Everyday I drove 48 the flowers thinking, “I’ll stop on my way home and dig them.” “Gee, I don’t want to get my good clothes 49 ...” Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband 50 gave me a folding shovel(铁锹) one year to be used for that 51 purpose.

One day on my way home from work, I was 52 to see that the highway department had moved the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you 53 too long. You 54 it when you first saw them blooming this spring.”

A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a terminal brain tumor(脑瘤晚期). She is 20 years older than my husband and 55 , because of age and distance, we haven’t been as 56 as we all would have liked.

I had to see the 57 between the pretty blue flowers and the 58 between my husband’s sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some valuable 59 that will bloom every year for us.

And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet(打赌） I'll stop and 60 them to my wildflower garden
