My Fair Lady Rose -Postcard Friendship Friday #240

 

I apologize for the lateness of this post. We had a chimney fire some time back.  Repairs are finally underway.  The chimney is gone now and the noise of the work they've been doing is deafening!  I don't mind--it is the sound of progress.  I hope you will still join us today--even though I'm a bit late in posting. 

It has been so warm in our part of the world, the roses are still in full bloom.  This lovely Lady Rose seemed a perfect tribute to today's beautiful sunshine and balmy temperatures. 

The past five years or so, the rain started mid-September and didn't stop until late Spring.  Grandpa used to call bright and warm October weather an "Indian  Summer."  I loved his quaint phrases--things such as calling an ice storm, a "silver thaw."

If you are here in the Pacific Northwest, enjoy the sun whilst you can and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Greet My Heart -Guest Heart Thursday

This postcard is so sweet--I love her bloomers, and the way her wings sprout from her shoulder blades.  The flowers on the heart and hearts in the basket are such a dear touch.  Just perfect for Guest Heart Thursday!  The note to her Mom on the back of the postcard, is, er, interesting.

Cupid's Aim -Postcard Friendship Friday #107

I remember when Cupid's arrow pierced my heart for the first time.  Ah, first love...those moments we will always remember.  Nearly every person experiences first love.  Not everyone meets the love of one's life.

There is an older couple I know...she is ailing now.  His eyes fill with tears as he says, "She's the love of my life.  She's been there for me, now I will be there for her."  I think of my own precious parents.  Daddy loved Mumsie--she also was the love of his life. They grew together through thick and thin.  They were married for 53 years. 

Such a love is beyond measure, precious and dear.  It is a great blessing to those who find it.

I will be out of town for the next four days, so will not be able to comment on your wonderful postcards until I get back.  I am SO looking forward to seeing what you post.  Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday!

Heart for Lunch

I don't know why--but this postcard is disturbing--I can't put my finger on exactly what bothers me about it.  I've never seen one like it before.  Maybe it is that the heart-shaped pots over the flames don't look like they especially like the idea of Cupid's having that heart for lunch.  (grin)

However, I do very much like how the bow and arrow and tree frame the postcard.

Have a great week everyone!  Valentine's Day is less than a month away. 

Cupid -- EEEeeeek!

I can't remember where I found this funny old painting--suffice it to say, one shouldn't mess with Cupid!  lol  When love grabs hold of the heart--it does drive us along, doesn't it?

Have a perfectly lovely week!
