Every winter I have to worry about my mail box. The plowman can be so vicious. I feel as though he really does not care about any one’s mailbox, not just mine. I have to replace my mailbox nearly every year.
One year I actually rebelled and refused to fix my residential mailbox. It was extremely bashed in and did not meet the federal post office box standards. Unfortunately, the post office won and I had to fork out money to replace the box and the post. I was not happy. What made this worse was that the mailbox I replaced was a decorative one.
I love decorative mailboxes. However, with this situation I am not able to have a pretty mailbox. This upsets me but that is the price I have to pay for country living. I would not give up country living for the world. I enjoy going out on a daily basis to pick my mail out of my mailbox. I not only get to pick up my mail but also get to enjoy the birds and flowers in my gardens.
