bicycle daydreams




The bicycle, the bicycle surely,
should always be the vehicle
of novelists and poets.

  3. There is something so romantic about a bicycle with a basket full of flowers. The only way to get around.

  4. My 5 year old bike (from Walmart) has three speeds and coaster breaks. Just enough for me. I hope I never have to buy a new one . . .

  5. I am thinking I really need to get a bike this summer. Imagine how quickly I could get to your house from mine on a bike!! If I go down Walnut St. hill?!?! I might get whiplash!! :)
    There is something lovely about a bicycle that hearkens back to a simpler time.
    Yeah...I gotta get me a bike. :)

  10. Good morning Susan!!! So lovely to come and see that fabulous bikes, just beckoning me to get on and tour our lovely cities! Thank you for coming to my post! We have only about 2 1/2 weeks left of school....I wish you the BEST summer ever. I am changing job responsibilities a bit for next year due to both our English teachers being cut. I will still have my own classroom, but I will be team-teaching with another fourth grade teacher. I will be teaching her kids and my kids social studies and science in French, and both her students and mine ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS, while she teaches my kids and hers French Language Arts and math. Whew! I have never taught English in elementary, only ESL to Japanese college students. So this summer will be quite different from I had envisioned: having nothing to do!!!!

    Blessings dearest, Anita
