miles and smiles

I love my bike.  But some of you probably know that already.  Despite the sunshine, the wind along the back roads this morning was bitterly cold.  Even so, I was smiling (more of a good-humoured grimace).

And why not?  The fields are changing colour - green now predominates.  I saw my first swallow.  And perhaps most important of all, I can still ride my bike.

When I get home, the icing on the cake, so to speak; as I walk through the door, Anniemay greets me with a tray of cheese biscuits fresh out of the oven.  The coffee machine is on and all I have to do is sit down and be waited on.  Smiles.
