Philipp was a physician and botanist,…

still no stamps! but more snow.

We woke up to more of a winter wonderland today. Full stop! We go no where, there's no where to go. Crazy southern city doesn't handle snow well, but I'm

okay with that, as I have a cold.

The fun thing - I received some winter poems from L. Hensley last week, in a tiny envelope, stamp placement out of the usual, uncancelled, so I have no clue when these…

Incoming postcards to brighten up a dreary winter.

I am not really known for being a colorful guy, although every now and again I can pull something off. So it really brightens up the mailbox and my day, particularly in these weeks of below freezing grey grey days to see color on the mat when I get home.

Thanks, Jazzie.

And thanks, Liberty. I love the turtle stamp.…

Update on upcoming FE-mail event, originally sent to members on the mailing list.

Hello,

And of course Petrolpetal included her usual mix of amazing pieces…
