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.
ReplyDeleteThe 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
Love the watercolor painting of the mailboxes. The poem is so wonderful as well
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and I like the poem! Take care, Happy Friday! Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have seen collections of mail boxes like that; perhaps not quite as many but they became a virtual tourist attraction.
ReplyDeleteNice poem to go with the letter boxes, so many there.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen mail boxes stapled together like that...how interesting!
ReplyDeleteMailboxes 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 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you that almost everything is worth a photo. :) I think I need to find that app. :) Have a super weekend.
