I’m further south but my best guess is West Lawn or Little Village. I do not welcome their return.

There were a bunch of these in the library today. Thank you to the volunteers placing them in our neighborhoods. If you’d like to help, please donate www.pilsenartscommunityhouse.org

I'm limiting my time on social media because my anxiety and depression cannot handle *waves at everything.* Allowed myself time to enjoy writing and decorating cards to new friends in Slovakia, Chile, and Czechia, respectively. 🥰 #postcrossing #snailmail
A hand holds three postcards, fanned out in front of a blue USPS mailbox.  One card depicts a coffee grinder and a red cup filled with coffee, the middle card is a picture of red panda, and the foremost card is in black and white and depicts a cat in the lower half of the card. The grey cat is crouched and looking up.

Postcrosser’s bio said LGBTQ Cards welcome. I didn’t have any but did use my last Bert and Ernie stamps. The card arrived and he loved them! 🥰 #postcrossing

No visible aurora from #Chicago #Southside Been heading out every 30 minutes. Did spot this opossum in neighbor’s yard, so a win. 💜🦡

I ran some shelf reports and fixed inventory issues. Two students in the library. The motion sensitive lights around us have been off for an hour. I’m treating myself to some reading time and this one had me twenty pages in. I hope it stays good!

Writing a few postcards always lifts my spirits. Starting the day with the soft *thump* when they land in the mailbox…😌💙 #Postcrossing

Happy cards posted Tuesday. Sadness sometimes keeps me from requesting addresses. Reading profiles, selecting, decorating, and writing cards always works to brighten my mood. Plus the sound of dropping cards in a mailbox is a great way to start the day. 💙

Posted my World Postcard Day cards at my favorite mailbox. I don’t know why but mail dropped here is delivered faster than from other boxes I’ve used.✨📮🌎
Hand holding four postcards in front of a mailbox. One is of a light house, next an informational card of the state of Illinois with cities, the state bird, flag and flower, and finally two official World Postcard Day cards featuring a young person in a boat handing a postcard to the moon. Flags of Taiwan, Germany, and United States over the cards, respectively.
