Did you know, today is The Lucky Postcrossers day? =) Because how else would you call the day, when you receive the postcard like that? New (and always the best) Bob Marley came from Irina.
 Another wonderful option of this card was a poem, written by Ivan Bunin in 1906. I really wish you to know Russian now =) Because I want to share this poem, full of colours, with you. It's «Из окна» (From the window).

Ветви кедра — вышивки зелёным
Тёмным плюшем, свежим и густым,
А за плюшем кедра, за балконом —

Сад прозрачный, лёгкий, точно дым:
 

Яблони и сизые дорожки,
Изумрудно-яркая трава,
На берёзах — серые серёжки

И ветвей плакучих кружева,
 

А на клёнах — дымчато-сквозная
С золотыми мушками вуаль,
А за ней — долинная, лесная,

Голубая, тающая даль.

I hope, you received great postcards today, too.
Thank you so much, Irina! =)

These are two postcards from Nastya. She shared with me her favourite poem, and I hope she doesn't mind, if I'll share it with you =) It's "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost:

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favour fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.


Thank you, Nastya!
