With temperatures approaching 100 and dewpoints in the high 60's, I turned early to this card showing some sounds of summer: tinkle of wind chimes, crunch of watermelon, sizzle of sparklers, and such. It's going to a postcrosser who rents out apartments for tourists in a picturesque village in the Alsace region of France. Meanwhile, the fans are out, the chimes are out, and maybe tonight I'll get the sparklers going.
