From the back of the postcard: Hillside cemeteries and historic churches combine with Victorian architecture in Ferndale.

As photos go, this is not the best I’ve seen. The cemetery looks mostly empty and the buildings are framed in a way that makes them look hodgepodge. I’m sure it all looks much better up close.

Sara said that they popped into a little shop that had local organic eggs. Apparently the Instagram of the egg producers is a delight. I was not able to locate this delightful Instagram, but perhaps Sara will chime in at a later date.

This is postcard 1 of 3 of the coffee trilogy, which means I’m missing one. Happily, I have received 1 and 2 in the lineup, so can read two-thirds of the message.

Sara reports that they are home from Napa (see previous postcard) and stopped at this coffee roaster because finding good coffee or tea is a challenge in their area, but this is a good place.

Sara also reports she potentially has jury duty this week. We shall see if she gets called.

Sara writes that the Napa Valley is lovely (and also hot, dry, and a bit fire-damaged.)

She notes among other activities, they are bringing back wine that she hopes to enjoy with me when I visit them.

Sara found this in a shop that hasn’t been open much during the pandemic. She wonders if the postcard still smells of the incense that was in the shop. I can say that it does, but not overly so.

Sara sends me a home-state postcard because she’s visiting her in-laws who also live in Oregon.

She reports that they did a lovely costal drive. Reading Sara’s message, I also got to see the different ink colors her mother-in-law has.

I almost couldn’t find this one in the pile because it is much longer than a postcard and wasn’t in the envelope where I keep the backlogged pile.

Sara reports that this is a Humboldt County artist.

I looked up this website and it’s for sale for $2,199.00, if you would like to buy it. I wonder what happened to joangold and their website.

Sara reports from her sunny side deck that she’s having a Summer Sara weekend.

She also observes that it’s a shame the artist’s name isn’t included on the postcard which both she and I like the style of.

And the puns continue!

Sara reports that she has a letter writing station set up, but did not get to letter writing over spring break because they were hosting visitors. She sends good wishes.

Sara spruced up this postcard that I think was designed so someone could color it. But neither the sender nor the receiver enjoys coloring. Good job with the gold ink, SKS!

Sara asks about our snowstorm (thoroughly covered on this platform!) and tells me about Northern California winters which have a lot of rain and a sunny day to lighten the gray days. No snow for them, though.

The stamp on the card is one of the ones from the snowy day series. Very on brand!

Another great postcard from Humboldt County. I hope the next place Sara lives has such excellent postcard offerings, but in the meantime, I’m enjoying these.

Sara reports that she’s about to teach her Friday double class via Zoom and sends me good wishes for my week.
