Spring Arrives on Velvet Toes

I have always loved pussywillows. To me, they always signalled the end of winter and meant that we could finally bring out our bicycles.

Here I am with my first and most favourite bike, with my sisters on the tricycle.

I don't know if this is my favourite bike because it was so nice to ride, or because it gave me a certain amount of independence that would have been previously unknown to a five year old.
