You know, sometimes you just have to do that.

Today I've learned a little of the history of Sakhalin island, and also about the four species of avocets (Recurvirostra), Yongcheon Cave, and the Canadian folk musician Stan Rogers.

It has definitely made me a more well-rounded, gracious, and grateful person! Hard work always wears you out, but it also has a way of either wearing you down, or making you grateful... sometimes both.

Unfortunately it was not... I was just a teenager, and I had to be at work at 5:30am, and it was a very large area I had to clean alone. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ In different circumstances it might have been! ๐Ÿ˜…

Just wrote a letter to my friend the Assistant Superintendent of Posts in Kerala, India. I'm sending him some lovely vintage first-day covers and an assortment of stamps. He's sending me back (hopefully!) a bird postcard and some beautiful bird stamps. I am always looking for เคญเคพเคฐเคค เค•เฅ‡ เคฎเฅ‚เคฒ เคชเค•เฅเคทเฅ€ !

A pop-up card produced by the Sanrio company and sold in Japan. This card depicts hydrangeas in full bloom behind a window pane, with a sparkle effect for rain on the window. The card is made of three layers of material - the back have hydrangeas, and the front has the window illustration. Taken together, it is a 3D window. It's not visible in the photo, but on the back of the card is room for a message. My friend has written to me about the rainy season in Tokyo.

Today I've learned about Belarusian gobelin weaving, the hydrangea season in Japan, and how to say "my garden is teeming with insects" from a native speaker. โœจ

It's "In meinen Gerten wimmelt es vor Inseklen", if you're curious. โ˜บ๏ธ

I also received this gorgeous card from one of my penpals in Tokyo.

Pretty good, pretty good, thank you! My garden is really starting to come alive now that we've had this warmer weather. The sunflowers have started to bloom. I'm enjoying the last of the relatively cool and lower humidity days before BIG SUMMER sets in here in the south ๐Ÿ˜†

Haha, yeah, I can't blame them for crawling all over it! But I wish they would stay on the plant, and not visit me ๐Ÿ˜…

A single passionflower bloom amid dense green foliage with bluish-white petals, a white and purple corona, and  a structure of fine appendages between the petals and stamens. The large flower is arranged in a ring above the petals and sepals.

Behold! Passiflora incarnata, better known as passionflower, and to some, maypop or even wild apricot! Today, while working under the floppy canopy, I'd hoped I'd found every hungry ant who found her way on to me... unfortunately, hours later at my desk, I'm finding that it was not quite the case...
