ElaineM's 1000th post commemorative thread

[Bill]

This is in honor of our own ElaineM. Your posts are always so sweet and thoughtful. Your words always bring a sense of peace to me as I read them. In honor of Elaine, I would like us all to name a flower, not necessarily our favorite, and share a special memory that we experience every time we see, or smell, that flower. Here's to you, Elaine! Whenever I see a forsythia, I think of my mom. We transplanted and re-rooted many of these over the years, and to this day, every spring when I see one bloom, I think of her.
