My picture from yesterday was indeed the end of the garlic. I had finished using 6 cloves and that was the last of it. I thought it made an interesting photo, which just proves I think almost everything is worth a photo, if I stare at it long enough, even that which is left on my cutting board. I looked at it and went “hmmm…” and there you go. It was an easy guess, yes? On to today’s post, a picture and a poem.
Along the quiet country lane they stand,
Each box a keeper of unseen hands.
Paint chipped, flags lifted, hopes enclosed,
Stories waiting where sunlight glows.
The breeze hums softly through the grass,
Whispering names as shadows pass;
Messages carried from heart to heart,
Tiny bridges where worlds depart.
And in this row of colors worn,
Dreams are delivered, love reborn—
A watercolor hush, serene and true,
Each mailbox holding a piece of you.
~Letters At The Edge Of The Day~
Thanks for visiting everyone. Thanks also for joining in yesterday and leaving your comments. Always very much appreciated!
Have a great weekend!



A lovely post Denise, it sure is a snippet of history.
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you Diane, thank you and it certainly is :)
DeleteThe app idea is wonderful—and I love how the photo looks both as a painting and as a photograph; seeing so many mailboxes lined up like that is just great.
ReplyDeleteThe accompanying poem is absolutely wonderful, too!!! Thank you for this touching post!
Have a good day—hugs, Elke
Thank you very much Elke :) so glad you liked my post this morning, and you are very welcome. I wish you a good day also. Hugs, Denise
DeleteLove the watercolor painting of the mailboxes. The poem is so wonderful as well
ReplyDeleteThat's great, thank you Ann :) very much appreciated.
DeleteGreat photo and I like the poem! Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, happy you liked them and I wish you the same :)
DeleteI have seen collections of mail boxes like that; perhaps not quite as many but they became a virtual tourist attraction.
ReplyDeleteThey really do, an especially welcome sight from us city folk :)
DeleteNice poem to go with the letter boxes, so many there.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret, I don't think I have seen as many since :)
DeleteI have never seen mail boxes stapled together like that...how interesting!
ReplyDeleteThis is the largest one I have ever seen where probably their owners have to travel a distance to pick up their mail :)
DeleteMailboxes used to call to me to take a picture. I liked the rural mailboxes, many in a row such as in your picture. I liked individual mailboxes that resembled animals, fishes, small houses.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Linda, I feel the same way :) I also like the individual ones. I loved the manatee mailbox when we were in Florida. Also pelican-shaped ones in seaside areas, lighthouses, the list goes on.
DeleteI missed yesterdays post so had to go back and look. I would not have guessed garlic. I do like the picture of the mailboxes. So simple, yet.... I don't know, I like it though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim, for commenting and for also taking a look at yesterday's post. Yes, some of the simplest things, so they say, are the best kind of things :)
DeleteI'm with you that almost everything is worth a photo. :) I think I need to find that app. :) Have a super weekend.
ReplyDeleteThere is something appealing about rural mailboxes.
ReplyDeleteThis was an interesting place to visit this morning.
