Postmarked April 17, 1908, Philadelphia, Edward asks George in Ashland PA if this reminds him of the good old summer times...

Ooh! The fuzzy cotton-y things I don't know the name of! (The plant/flower, not the bunnies) my mom and grandma would have fake ones and would get irritated when I would use them as cat toys. ^^;

The crocuses were my mom's spring flower in our mini garden. She had crocus and Hyacinth. I planted daffodils and irises. My sister had tulips.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.

Another week long postcard auction has come and gone.  I took part in it and, as usual, I won some and lost some.  I bid way high on one postcard that showed the face of Liberace and his brother George.  It is a Christmas greetings postcard and I did manage to win it, so will probably show it next December if I'm still around by then.  I noticed another postcard where four bidders had it up to $20.50 with just a couple minutes left before bidding would end for it.  I didn't bid on it because frankly, I couldn't see anything special about it, other than some cool looking cars and possibly some cool looking women.

The postcard shows Ponce Plaza in Puerto Rico.

In France it's tradition on April 1st for kids to take a paper fish, stick it to the back of as many adults as possible, then run away yelling "April Fish"
