“Looks like to-day the sun is going to shine.”
This hilarious postcard was sent to a daughter in Oklahoma. Even though it was sent in 1991, the writer is still using formal titles and calling the daughter Mrs. Kenneth _____, as compared to just using her first name. You can also tell the author is older by her return address label, her husband is in bold print vs her name. The card is a nice family and friend update and mentions going to visit a friend or relative in a hospital. The author also mentions the weather, as expected :)
I looked up Jackrabbit on Tumblr and gee wiz, so many folks using Jack Rabbit but nothing to do with the actual animals. Then I stumbled on this one, how perfect! This is a recent acquisition at the Library of Virginia. I have actually found quite a few interesting old postcards on their blog.

Postcard description: The front of the card is comical with a man riding an enormous jackrabbit. It is made to look like an actual real photograph with cattle behind in the field that are much smaller. The man is saddled on and is just longer than the ear on the jackrabbit. The text says "Oklahoma Cattle Punching on a Jack Rabbit".
Postcard information: OKLAHOMA Most cowboys use their favorite Bronc for Cattle Punching but some, as you can see, prefer the Jack Rabbit.
