    There is an old saying: "Take the time to stop and smell the flowers." I think we should also take the time to1 flowers. My grandmother knew just 2 to do that she grew flowers: with earth water and love, so her back garden was filled with beautiful flowers. She would smile when she saw 3 the shine down on them. In her front garden she planted flowers, 4. You could see red, white and yellow flowers in it. My mom and 1 used to walk 5 them and enjoy their smells. Beautiful botflies (蝴蝶) flew down on them. Grandma also cared for the wild flowers. She would send 6 and my brother out to pick flowers and would then turn them into delicious wine(酒) Grandma not only planted flowers in the gardens 7 also planted flowers in our hearts. Her delicious dinners: made with love encouraged us. Her sweet smile always made us 8  Her hugs (拥抱) and kisses were the sunshine that kept our own love 9 day after day. Take the time to plant a few flowers yourself today. Show your smiles, kindness and love. Plant your wishes, talents and pleasure. Make this 10 brighter and brighter with your sunshine.
