Birthday Surprises

For my birthday, I was so surprised when I received a large box delivered to my door. A new bicycle! A surprise from my husband. What a terrific surprise! The bike looks like one of those old fashion bikes, with the large seat cushions and wide handle bars. He also picked out a basket to tie to the front. We've been taking advantage of the nice weather and going on lots of bike rides around the neighborhood. Great fun. The only thing I don't like is the Brooklyn traffic. It takes some getting used to having all those cars around you.

Also, my mom gave me some gorgeous flowers. The peonies are from her garden. Aren't they gorgeous, they smell amazing and are one of my favorite flowers! She also gave me a huge bouquet of spray roses! Ahh, spring blooms, they are so fantastic!!
