| For years I wanted a flower garden.I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together. But then we had Matthew.And Marvin.And the twins,Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden. Money was tight,as well as time.Often when my children were little,one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say,"Do you see a money tree outside?Money doesn't grow on trees, you know." Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden. I wasn't sure,though.I mean,gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean,nofrills budget. Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly,I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by.I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard.I thought it must be a weeping willow,because I saw things blowing around on all its branches.Then I put my glasses on-and I couldn't believe what I saw.There was a money tree in my yard! I went outside to look.It was true!There were dollar bills,one hundred of them,taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached:"IOU eight hours of digging time.Love,Marvin." Marvin kept his promise,too.He dug up a nice tenbyfifteen foot bed for me.And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis(棚架),a sunflower stepping stone and gard ening books. That was three years ago.My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted.When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they are right there with me. I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula,where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short.But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers. I'll see next spring in my little garden.I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes－every time. I'm still not sure that money grows on trees.But I know love does! |
