Summertime!

Well, summer is here in earnest! We've had so much rain the past few weeks and I am glad we live on the side of a hill, so that there is no chance of flooding! The ground outside is like walking on a wet sponge. It's been a good thing though, our area has been under drought conditions for the past few years.

(and to answer the question from the last post - I don't know exactly what the grannies were doing, I was wondering myself!)

Enjoy the postcards!

I think this may be my first Maine postcard!

Sudak, Genoese Fortress, sent from the Ukraine

Lovely bicycle postcard from France

An Edward Gorey card, 12 Lords a'leaping- except they look more like they are walking sedately. Now, the ladies look more like they are "a'leaping"!

The End Of April!

The year is going by fast! When I was a child I used to hear my parents say with other adults that time went by faster the older you became and I didn't understand that until I got there. :)

Enjoy!

I love this card from Finland!
