Does Your Mail Box Measure UP?

If you live at a lake doesn't it make sense to have some lures on your mail box? Who knows what kind of mail you might catch.

It's fun to drive around and see what folks have done to personalize their mailboxes. Now believe me, we have some very "Plain Jane" boxes, like the one at the end of our driveway. Perhaps that is why I notice the ones with personality.

I also like the ones that may not be particularly different but the owners have taken the time to "dress" them up abit with flowers and other types of plants. Thought I would like to share some of my favorites with you.

Everytime I pass these I think of the American flag...red, white and blue.

The one to the right is a little bit country! It makes me think of antlers. Or is it saying to us, "so big" like we used to do when we were little children? Or does it look like a someone you know describing the fish that got away?

Here's a Lake Anna neighbor that has such a green thumb they are able to "grow" ivy to decorate their mailbox. What Mother Nature doesn't do for you, do it yourself with a paintbrush.

No excuse for the mailman not to find this mailbox. Pretty nautical and very appropriate for Lake Anna.

In a contest for the Good, the Bad and the Ugly where would you place this one?

This "fish" appeared on my road one day. I now have the "pleasure" of seeing it each and every time I go out my driveway. Boy, has he got a big mouth! He'd probably make a great blogger! I bet he'd have some fish tales to tell us.

Out here in the country we must also find comfortable places for our cows and horses. This neighbor of mine gave his animals their very own barn. They just have to share with some bills and junk mail.

I wonder what type of "gifts" the postman finds in here.

Driving around Lake Anna can be interesting. Just be sure to keep your eyes open (and on the road too).
