Another old notated postcard. This one seems to be from the same traveller as the one in my previous post, but two years later. Both refer to ‘Bill and I’, both are from travels through the British Columbia interior and, according to my own expert eye, both are written with the same hand, this one slightly older. Enjoy.

<postcard note>
July 21, 1976
 Water Lilies at Dutch
    Lake. Warm
   water & lovely
    setting. Bill& I
                   Stayed in
 camper on hill.
This is
<poem>
This is . . . enough.
I’ll stop  before
I ruin things
with too much.
I’m just grateful
it’s midsummer
the lilies are out
the water is just right,
not too cold,
the scenery just fine,
and our camper
is up a hill,
just far enough,
not too close
to bother
the other folks
on holiday,
down in
their campers,
making
their own efforts
to hold on.
