Mailbox Happiness

The last few days have been full of rain, constant...non stop...around the clock rain.  The postcards arriving at the 2809 bring us sunshine...lots of sunshine!

We have a little piece of sugar cookie cake (I always want to bake when it rains) a cup of hot chocolate or tea and read each card.  We look at the front...usually generating some ooohhhh's and awwwww's from either Meredith or myself but most of the time you'd hear both of us saying it together at the same time! 

On to the cards....six more from the 52 Postcards in a Year at Swapbot.  Are you a member there?  There's a swap for everyone!  You can find me via the link on the right. ----->

It's Thursday, the week's half gone
Have you written anyone?
No pressure, simple will do
Just send your thoughts and good wishes
Let your love shine through.


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


Amish Country-The main source of livelihood for the Amish is farming.  If you happen to read here very often, you know I love Amish cards...happy dance!


Nebraska Mapcard-I'm trying to complete my USA Mapcard Collection of all 50 States and this is a very nice addition.

Letters and Postcards for all to see,
Traveling the earth so eagerly.
Coming to you, bringing a smile.
All the way from Texas,
Now that's a lot of miles.


A few penpal letters on the way to here, there and yonder.  Hope they all travel safely.


Postcards making their way all over the globe!  So long, farewell...
