Two Hearts that Turnip as One

 
I'm afraid this card is not as effective as it could be. Never mind that it's lacking the romantic embellishments of cute little cherubs and lacy bows and hearts. What's more important is that the featured vegetable looks like a turnip, and with no red coloring to prove its identity as a beet, it could be just about any tuber. Two hearts that rutabaga as one. Yes, I think that's it!

Here's a card with the same message:
  
It's quite lovely and romantic, but I'm not sure how the pipe fits in.

    Theres nothing quite as romantic as a cozy night, cuddled by the fire, with my heart rutebaga-ing in tune with my wife.

    Thanks for the laugh.

    I have a small collection of vintage postcards. I decorage the Christmas tree every year with the holiday themed ones. This year, I turned many of the correspondance sides out, to view the beautiful old handwriting and postage stamps.
    Beautiful blog!

    Weird sentiments, but still very neat...just the fact that they are vintage even. Love the writing on the back. 1913...that's really cool!

    Christine,
    You had me from "rhutabega," uh, I mean, "hello.":) The pipe smoking card made me think of the expression "Where there's smoke there's fire."!!
