Begin by opening your eyes and be surprised that you have eyes you can open，that incredible array of colors that is constantly offered to us for pure enjoyment.

Look at the sky.We so rarely look at the sky.We so rarely note how different it is from moment to moment，with clouds coming and going.We just think of the weather，and even with the weather，we don't think of all the many nuances of weather.We just think of good weather and bad weather.This day，right now，has unique weather，maybe a kind that will never exactly in that form come again.That formation of clouds in the sky will never be the same that is right now.Open your eyes.Look at that.

Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (路沟)along the highway I travel daily to work.I've noticed that they bloom only in the morning hours.Every day for approximately two weeks，I see those beautiful flowers.

This spring，I started a wildflower garden in our yard.I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditches would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.Everyday I drove past the flowers thinking，“I'll stop on my way home and dig them.”But I never stop to dig them.

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

And yes，if I see the blue flowers again，you can bet I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
