From #1 @cawindt - a beautiful dove with the Colours of Ukraine showing. I hope you had a wonderful visit to Pittsburg and Cleveland. I like the different postage you used.

#11 reporting one card received today after the 4-day holiday, from #6 @mikeyz1. Love, Love, Love the metaphoric peace image! 
And a Peace Corps stamp, too! The first time I was in Ukraine, I bumped into two young men who were in the Peace Corps on a day off to visit a museum. I was there for a democracy education project; they were there for a women’s health project. We sat in a cafe in a square, shared experiences and ideas … I’d forgotten about this amazing afternoon! Your card brought back the memory. May Peace come soon. Like, yesterday!

Thank you so much!
Hello, #25 @teddypostcrossing reporting in with an eclectic assortment of cards:
#6 @mikeyz1 Berenstain Bears! Thank you! Your daughter may also like the Dinofours when she turns 4! They are such good books for adults and kids, alike. I miss teaching preschool! We moved across country at the beginning of covid and I haven’t returned to teaching… yet!
#8 @Shesa-Renegade it is so touching to hear how the sea turtles were such a magical experience for your students! I love the card you sent from The Bahamas! Our family friend is a Citizen Scientist on Coronado Island. She reports her sightings because she paddle boards or kayaks every day and is familiar with the turtles and their habitats. She is called the Turtle Whisperer (locally).
#14 @jacieslar Butterflies and positive messages-what could be better! Thank you for this card which will be added to my collection. I have always wanted to see the desert bloom at its peak! Sounds like your trip inspired you to see or begin projects! I love that about travel!
#15 @AccentOnHakes Yep, non rabid foxes are pretty cute! Thank you for the card for my fox collection. I had not read that article about the fox at the capitol! The fox stamp is just fabulous! I have never seen it before!
#22 @uconn You may know that I am partial to humming birds! Thank you for this card-I envy the hummingbird’s energy and fast metabolism! 5 different kinds seems pretty good!
#23 @suatelier Thank you for the PEACE card and your message behind it! I just love the insect stamps/pollinators that you included!

We are starting to worry over drought conditions and fire. Time to do some rain dances or you can send some of your rain, my way!
May is open!

#1 @cawindt sent the Ukrainian dove blue/yellow stamp card, thank you Craig! Some of your writing got water on it somehow and a third of your message is washed out, but can barely see the words underneath. 
I’m glad you were able to get away for spring break! I hope the weather has improved for you.

#9 @scoutingbear sent a San Diego Zoo Safari Park card, thank you Karen! I now want to pet all of those animals, haha! I’m glad you were able to spot them, well, most of them, lol. What is your favorite animal to see at the zoo? Every time I went, I always looked for the wolves, but they never wanted to be seen.

#14 @jacieslar sent purple and yellow flowers taking over a white picket fence that was made in water color, thank you JoAnne! Did you enjoy your time in Tucson? I’ve never been there. I love when everything comes back to “life” in the spring time, the world becomes more beautiful then. I can imagine all the birds singing, hehe. I have one male society finch that loves to sing at the top of his little lungs, haha. Yep, shopping and cross stitching, that’s me too.

#22 @uconn sent a Brazilian Happy Easter card, thank you James! A bunch of decorated eggs with bunny ears hiding amongst them, lol, cute. What kind of bagels did you bring to the family breakfast? The bagged kind or the freshly baked just that morning kind? Bagels are a weakness of mine, haha.

#29 @melvnoble sent a fabergé egg of the Imperial Red Cross Easter Egg, 1915, thank you Mel! The only plans we had were to go to my in-law’s house and celebrate Easter with them with a big meal and talking. I made a chocolate cheesecake with Nutella and brought it over for all to try, it came out delicious and rich, yum! 
#30 @RockyRoadTrip sent a vintage Easter Greetings card with a girl and boy wrapping Forget-me-not around the large pink egg, thank you Rocky!

Thank you everyone for all the great cards!!

#5 reporting two more cards:
#8 @shesa-renegade – A map of the Bahamas in a gorgeous shade of teal. How interesting it sounds to travel to do research. But I’m sure it’s a lot of hard work, too.
l#18 @LaurenceB – I agree, this card from the “Women in Art” series is gorgeous. And of course I’d never heard of Guan Daosheng before.
Thanks for the great cards! You can see them here.
