Take A Word - Old Fashioned

Oldfashioned is the word of the week at Take-a-Word.   My bicyclist is a freebie from the ever-generous and talented Land of Nod (thank you SO much!).  Bicycle and ad were googled.  Frame is from my long-ago stash and source is lost in the pages of time.    When I was a child, one of my favorite pasttimes was riding my bike down country roads past fragrant fields of new mown hay, with the evening breeze in my face.   I wish I could bottle that experience, and take a nip now and then!!

  3. I am so envious of the gorgeous image! What a beautiful picture and so cleverly altered from the original with much spiffier patterns and colours. The whole effect is superb, Bev, especially as it conjures up the smell of new mown hay and country life. Fantastic.

  8. Only you Bev could create something as wonderful as this and then go on to paint a beautiful picture of riding your bike past 'fragrant fields'. Brilliance, pure brilliance.
