The mailbox keys

daffodils sprouting last week

I went to the super mailbox to collect our mail on the first day of spring. The ice around the community mailbox had melted somewhat. There is always garbage around it, shame on some of the neighbours. Anyway, I decided to pick up some of the scattered papers and discovered some rusted keys at the back of the area. They looked like identical mailbox keys so I put them in the mail slot. The mailman can best decide what to do with them.

We wanted the ice to melt away but then the weeds and lawn chores will start, sigh!

It’s a shame that some people don’t care about the environment. And there’s my mother actually raking the street out side our house of leaves.

I wonder if they still call them letter carriers?
Good work for cleaning up. I do the rural ditches a lot.

There's always something to be found near the community mailbox. Well, it's not the worst place to lose something as the postman will know how to locate the owner.

Interesting about the keys. I wonder how many more keys are lost under the ice. We don't have any snow to melt now and its getting warmer. Spring flowers are around, yay :)

Autumn has arrived in Sydney finally after a very hot summer so we are now enjoying cooler weather.
Spring is a lovely season too.

Awful how some people don't pick up after themselves.

there was always garbage around the mailboxes in the townhouses we lived in at hamilton. and there was a garbage container to put it in no one used :/

My lawn already needs it.

We did not get any ice and snow, and our weeds and lawn chores have already started. I'm glad the male people have to do that and not me. Those days are over for me. Loll
