Pientare, who sent me this great card, also translated it:

Firewood to firing chamber
and we will get to the Summer.

She writes: in Finnish it rhymes and sounds much better.  ;-)

a Hörölä postcard from Finland

Ei oo liian rankkaa,
kun välillä tankkaa!

("It's not too tough when you fill your tank.")

- the sender writes:
The Finnish country side farmers used to bring milk barrels for dairy collection, and nowadays milk is collected by tanks.
