My 01/15/25 postcard features a cast iron frog perched on a fence post. Its weathered patina, shaped by years of outdoor exposure, caught my eye. New and shiny, it would have walked right by., but its aged charm spoke to me—a reminder of time’s artistry.  I’m not sure why I’m attracted to aged things, but I have always been.
