PUZZLE FOR NATIONAL ARBOR DAY
I went looking for a jigsaw puzzle to celebrate National Arbor Day, which is celebrated on the last Friday in April. The day was created to encourage us to celebrate and to plant trees. They are so important to the earth protecting the topsoil from being eroded away, putting oxygen into the air that we breath and providing homes for wildlife.
TECHNICAL DETAILS
This puzzle is a vintage 1975 Springbok puzzle called Country Road featuring, as it does, a lovely romantic wooded road in the countryside. When finished the puzzle will be square and measure 20 1/4 inches by 20 1/4 inches. It is is Springbok's puzzle number PZL2061.
OLD IRISH EXPRESSION
The text on the back is from a beautiful Old Irish proverb that incidentally does not appear on the picture on the puzzle. It reads:
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you
in the palm of His hand.
WHERE TO BUY THIS PUZZLE
Because it is a vintage puzzle, you will have to search eBay to find it. You can do so by clicking right here. I recommend buying a new puzzle, if possible. If you have to buy a used puzzle because that is all that is available or because that is all that you can afford and if it matters to you, make sure that you find out if the seller guarantees the puzzle to be complete. Counting the pieces is not a good way to know if a puzzle is complete since the number of puzzle pieces as given on the outside of the puzzle box does not necessarily represent the exact number of pieces within the box. Working a puzzle is the only way to know it is complete. Of course, you may be content to work a puzzle that is missing a piece or two and, as long as you know that is a possibility, that is okay, too.
