The postmark is very smudgy, but I think it says 1942 or 1912. Big difference, I know, but I can't make it out. The stamp is one cent. Anyone know what the postage was in 1942 or 1912? :) I love the keyhole look of the card. Not your typical Valentine looking postcard.
I just had to post a card today that showed snow because this is what we woke up to this morning in North Texas...
We've actually been iced in since Tuesday. Now, there is snow. Its pretty and all, but its very cold here (hasn't been above freezing in 3 days). I'm ready for spring!

Although we're out of the snow here, I also wish we had spring now. The house looks wonderful in the snow though (yours?), and I like the shape of the image at your card. Happy PFF.
That sure looks like a Christmas card to me!
I like the slope on the message, so straight as well. I have no idea of the cost of postage but the stamp is a 1912 Washington definitive (the higher values were Franklin).
We heard about your storms, what a pretty picture in the snow, but as my friend said when we had a whole weeks of it in December, you can get tired of snow sometimes.
A Christmas Valentine card! Two for one. I've not seen "no delay" written on a postcard before. Interesting! I wonder if it had any effect on the delivery. Based on the wording of the message and the card design I think 1911 is the date.
I wonder if this design was used for both Christmas and Valentine cards.
Hello- pretty sure your postcard is 1912- and I think it was one cent to mail it then.
We have had the ice , too.

That's a really unusual Valentine! I've never seen one with snow but I suppose many places will still be wintry at that time. I never thought of that before.
The Valentine card looks more like a Christmas card! Interesting about the keyhole. Happy PFF and stay warm.
Special card! I'd say 1912, for 1 cent. That's "my two cents". :)

I love this quote! :)
Wow it kind of looks like my house.. But we got so much more.. Stay nice and warm and safe...
Have a great weekend..
Such a pretty card - looks like the poinsietta works for Valentine's Day, also.
great card - very christmassy!
it's 1912 - this is a Washington Franklin stamp but it looks like a "Franklin" profile to me...there were also low value franklin stamps too - check out www.1847usa.com
Interesting card. Definatly Christmassy looking.
Cool postcard.
1912 postage was 1 cent. :-)
