Mail-Great Way to Start the Day!

Early and bright,
sweet little birds
singing with all their might.

It's my favorite time of day

Alcatraz, Fall & Thursday Says, "Hello!"

Thursday says, "Hello!"
have you any mail
ready to go?

No, you say?
Grab a postcard,
notecard or paper
and pen. 

Compose a few loving,
supportive words
and send off to a friend!


Today brings more wonderful cards from the Swapbot 52 Postcards in a Week Project, so much fun!


Alcatraz also known as, "the Rock".  This is my first postcard of the controversial maximum security prison located in San Francisco, California. 


North Texas doesn't experience autumn/fall colors like other parts of the USA, cards like this allow me to armchair travel through fall any time of the year.


The famous St. Louis Arch in spring-stands 630ft. tall and is our nation's largest man-made monument.

Penpal, Bulldog Stadium & Outgoing Mail

I opened my mailbox
and what appeared?
An amazing penpal
letter from someone dear!


It's always a great day to receive a letter, note or postcard but admittedly my spirits soared when I saw this bright and happy envelope in my mailbox from my penpal JarieLyn


Two more cards arrived from the 52 Postcards in Year at Swapbot.

Bulldog Stadium in Fresno, California.


Cute faces postcard.

Postcards that are on the way to here, there and yonder! 




Fort Ross California


Fort Ross-California
Anya writes: 200 years ago Russians lived in Northern California.  This land was purchased for three blankets, three pairs of pants, two axes, three hoes and some threads of beads from the Indians.  I found some more very interesting information here and here.  I love all the things I learn from Postcrossing!


The top stamp is the Wooden Houses at Fort Ross, lovely indeed.

Great Horned Owl
Great Horned Owl-(Bubo virginianus)
There are eleven species around the world.  They kill squirrels, skunks and chickens but their main food is rodents, especially rabbits.  Horned Owls lay three white eggs in tree cavities, rocks or abandoned nests of other birds.  So exciting when someone sends a new owl card!

California Redwoods
California Redwoods-the world's tallest trees. Putting the Redwood Forest on my places to visit.
