This postcard suffered a bit from the Portland rain. Drops took their toll, but it was still readable. Sara reports that it had snowed three inches in Minneapolis. On April second. Poor Minnesotans.

SKS Postcards: Spring Break
These are my favorite style of postcards, especially when the downtown doesn’t look like it has quite enough visual attractions to fill up all six letters.
Sara reports that the temperature got up into the 50s during their walking tour.
This postcard came from Rochester Minnesota, where Sara and her husband stopped on their way to Galena.
She reports that there was a picture of corn also painted on the water tower in Rochester.
SKS Postcard: Lars Lerin’s Birch Forest
Sara reports that she is enjoying the weekend before spring break and also that she doesn’t know where she picked up this postcard (which is very large for a postcard) I’m thinking she got it in Norway, because the actual name of the picture is Björkskog/Birch Forest
Fun fact: I just learned how to make that “Latin small letter O with diaeresis” You type ö and it changes automatically. Magic! Thanks, random website I found while googling.
SKS Postcards: Natural History Museum and Book Postcard
These first two postcards came from the Natural History Museum. Though they are part of diorama-ramas, which I love, these particular figures creep me out.
Especially this one. Sara reports that she’s been busily checking things off her list, with her big deadline days being 2/28 and 3/1.
This is a book promo postcard that she has not read. (I haven’t, either.) She also talks of weather and the inevitable Minnesota snow.
Thanks, Sara, for the postcard update!
