This flower/bush is my mom's favorite! It is a forsythia. She taught all of us kids the name of this bush and how to identify it. It is pretty much the first color to show up in spring. Everytime I see these bushes they remind me of my mom. I love you mom!

I was so sad to leave the forsythia bush mom gave me in WA. I am teaching my boys the same thing. :)
I also am teaching my kids the same thing. This picture is the one that mom gave me and it is in my front yard. Last year it grew to be HUGE!!
Ah...you are making me teary. Maybe I did teach you guys something good. (appreciation of the beauties of Earth) Funny thing, my mother taught me and look how many generations it may continue through. Thank you for keeping it going.
I just had the thought...there needs to be forsythia at my funeral.(way in the future)
We have a forsythia in our front yard (Jeff insisted) and he hasn't started teaching Max yet, but he is always quizzing me on all the types of flowers and bushes and trees that we pass -he knows all the names and is so proud every time he stumps me! Its fun to see how Julie's love for nature shows through Jeff when springtime comes around.
