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. Fivechildren. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.Money was tight (拮据的), 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 in the yard? 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.Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, 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 (垂柳), 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 to have a look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped allover that tree. There was also a note among them, "Thank you for your time, Mom. We love you."Later, my children bought me tools, a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.That was three years ago. My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and take care of my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they're right there with me.I live in a city 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!38.
