PFF - Postal Carrier's Coat Is Sign of Autumn



"Jim, our postal carrier wore his trusty P. Coat today. Indeed over the past many years, he in his coat has become a reliable sign of autumn, in time with the crisp mornings and falling leaves."

This is another postcard from Postmark America, a former USPS retail store at the Mall of America. (I posted
A Little Sack Time showing a postal carrier with a child in his sack last April). This postcard is very appropriate for this week because we suddenly went from a unusually warm September to an unusually cold October. A couple weeks ago I didn't need a coat. Now I am wearing my winter jacket and there is a good chance of snow.

  3. Ah, you've beaten me to it! I have my copy of that card you sent me ready for a real autumn feel to the weather, but it's been unseasonally warm! It's a great card.

  4. From here East, everybody seems to be chilled. Wait until this weekend if you think you're cool now!!

    My peacoat was lost with the rest of my seabag when I came home from Southeast Asia. What a shame, since I could have used it today!

  7. Wow! Another sign of Fall...who would have thought of looking at the Postman's coat?

    (grin) Here in Oregon our postman wears shorts--even in the dead of winter. It's an Oregonian thing...

  9. We had a couple of days here when the humidity was low and the weather was wonderfully nice...we're back to lots of sticky weather again. I would love some nice nippy temps here in the South.
