Canada Winter Scene Postcard

Just got a Canadian winter surprise to help take my mind off of the summer heat! (It's a comfy 22C/71F up north, according to the back of the card. I'm a bit envious!)

I had this card in my Postcrossing favorites and  I'm sending big thanks to Brenda for spotting it and so very kindly sending it on a flight south! Thanks so much, Brenda, I love it, front and back. :)

LOOK at these cool hockey and flowers...annnnd.....BASEBALL stamps!! :) :) :)

Doggy Snow Path

This little poochie doesn't like walking in the snow, so she dug out a nice little path for herself, and the other dogs, and for me. She did a great job! :)

Belgian Winter Scene Postcard

This gorgeous card just arrived from Belgium after 5 days of travel! Gerda, a fellow blogger, kindly chose and sent this wonderful winter scene, one of my favorite topics.

Thanks very much, Gerda. :)

Awesome dog stamps!

Winter Scene Postcard

Happy February!

This beautiful winter scene is from dear Jaana in Finland. We've been swapping cards for the past 4 1/2 years and I have loved every single card that she has picked out for me. :)

BIG thank you, Jaana!

Another cool stamp and fun sticker!

Minnesota Winter Wonderland Postcard

Happy Monday!

Another new card. I love the peaceful beauty of this one. I really got lucky finding cards on a recent trip up north. Sometimes, I can't find one single card ANYwhere, then other times, they seem to be EVERYwhere!

Winter Tubing Postcard

I'm in the mood for this! Looks like fun, doesn't it? Well, fun going down anyway. Not so much fun going back up. All I need is a tube, a mountain, and a lot of snow. :)

Serene Winter Scene Postcard

I'm kinda missing winter already.
What's wrong with me?!

This little Alaskan cutie arrived this past week via Georgia. Thanks very much, Denise!

Snow Puppy Postcard

Puppy + snow = super cute. :)

Thanks for yet another great card, Denise!

And snow!

More frozen mist on the trees.

And snow!

American Falls and Bridal Falls.

The views of all of the falls are MUCH better from the Canadian side of the river.

And snow!

Gift shop and restaurant closed.
No postcards, no souvenirs, but plenty of free snow!

Steam Locomotive Postcard

This really cold-looking, wintery, steamy, snowy steam locomotive card came choo-chooing in from Oleksandra in Kiev, Ukraine, recently. Love it!

Thanks very much, Oleksandra. :)

Beautiful, beautiful stamps!

I'm looking forward to spring, but I'm not really ready to let go of winter, either. So, this peaceful winter scene was timely. It was sent by Marion in Germany. I should probably keep it handy to look at in August when it's 100F in the shade.

Well, it was bound to happen. I think this is my first official Postcrossing Touchnote card. I'm torn on the Touchnote controversy. I got this one from Svyatoslav in Russia. I like the picture on the front, but nothing on the backside thrilled me.

My Favorite Squirrel

 I was watching 4 squirrels scurrying around in the snow today.

 I, then, decided that my favorite squirrel of the 4, was the one willing to sit and dine on the corn that I leave out for them.

 This chubby little fella was so busy eating, he didn't seem to mind me snapping his picture.

 By now, you're thinking what does this have to do with postcards and road trips? Nothing! Which makes it the perfect post to close out the year. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Greensburg, Pennsylvania USA

I'm miles away from postcards and a scanner at the moment, so I'm sharing a photo I snapped a few days ago.

Gotta love these little tunnels, cramped streets, and snowy days in Pennsylvania!
