Pistol Pete, Bayonne, NJ, USA

A Valentine from Pistol Pete . .

. . . Just found this inspired wording . . just for you . . . If I could be the postman
For just one single time,
I'd choose to carry Valentines
So lovely and so fine.
I would not mind the heavy load,
Or mind my tired feet.
If I could scatter happiness
All up and down the street.

Love and Laughter always,
Mailarta

Mon L'Ambassaseur "E", Guivry, UTOPIA-FRANCE

Straight to the heart of it all . . . Utopian visions!
With Saint Valentine tugging away at the heart strings in recent days . . . Someone asked me this week if Love was enough . . Pondering for awhile I decided it's the best place to start!

as always . . (is that even possible . . .) . . perhaps as I am at the moment . .
Love from,

Butterfly, Mill City, OR, USA

Butterflies

Butterflies go fluttering by
On colored wings that catch the eye.
On wings of orange, and silvery blue,
On wings of golden yellow, too.
Butterflies float in the air,
Making their homes most anywhere:
The rainforest, field, and prairie land,
On mountaintops, and desert sand.
If winter brings the cold and snow,
To warmer climates, off they go!
Returning home the following spring,
Beautiful butterflies on the wing!


Dearest Butterfly
Delightful grouping of possibilities arrived today . . . I look forward to some play in the weeks ahead . . Artful duties call upon my time in the weeks ahead . . but once complete . . what delight there will be to moisten the underbelly of a stamp.

Love as always,
