a linky party: Postcards for the weekend. She said: "

Postcard sent by Laura (the UK).

| Krokussen, Crocuses, Krokusse (Crocus) |
This postcard was sent by Heleen (the Netherlands), in March, after a short conversation about crocuses. At least, this is the date written by her on the back: 25-3-2016. There isn't any postcard, so I really don't know why it arrived in Morocco... last week! (?!)
Crocuses bloom in spring, and indeed I've sent you the card 4 days after Spring began... Now it is a week before Autumn!.. Maybe the postal services kept it this long so that we would remember the promising time of spring in post-summertime :-)
ReplyDeleteMaybe... There wasn't any clue on the back of the postcard.
DeleteWow, quite a long mail adventure for this postcard.
ReplyDeleteAnd the crocuses arrived so fresh... ;)
DeleteI love lilacs!
ReplyDeleteAnd every year when I see the first little crocus buds I am so happy because spring is on its way. Of course, here in mountainous Yamagata, we might have a few more huge snowfalls before it actually arrives, but...
Maybe someone needed the crocuses to cheer themself up? Or, maybe the card fell behind a machine or something? It's a mystery, isn't it?!!
And that will remain a mystery. But, eventually, the postcard arrived, and I feel lucky!
DeleteTwo lovely cards. Sadly most flowers will be replaced by berries shortly. but then berries are pretty too...
ReplyDeletePretty and tasty! :)
DeleteHow lovely to sit among the lilac trees, one of my favourites. I always think of crocus as brave little flowers looking so delicate and yet they survive the coldest weather. Maybe their determination got them to Morocco:)
ReplyDeleteThat could be an explanation... :D
DeleteHi Eva! Thanks for sharing these cards with beautiful matching shades. Your crocuses are awesome for making it to your address in the end! In my 7 years of swapping postcards, I had 1 caard that was routed into another country but also eventually arrived to my address :D
ReplyDeleteI think I've had all kind of mail adventures so far. I don't mind that mail take its time to arrive... if it eventually arrives!
