Have A Heart: - Not Just On Valentine's Day

Violets are blue
When things fall apart
Love is the glue.........

Here is my heart,
green of envy...

To protect the environment

...and here is love for everybody...

St. Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14 by the custom of sending greeting cards or gifts to express affection to a chosen partner. The cards - valentines - are generally sent anonymously and are often designed with hearts to symbolize love.

The holiday probably derives from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalis (February 15). Originally a festival for shepherds, it was celebrated in honour of Faunus. Its primary purpose was to secure fertility for the fields, the flocks, and the shepherds themselves.

The real thing...

This is a really cool stamp from Finland. You can scratch the heart off, much like an instant lottery ticket.
